On Monday, Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg proposed that SAG and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), its smaller sister union, hold an official debate on the issues involving AFTRA's newly brokered prime-time/TV contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers. SAG and AFTRA have been locking horns over the latter's tentative agreement with the AMPTP, which was reached May 28. Before negotiations with the studios, AFTRA suspended its joint bargaining agreement with SAG to negotiate its own prime-time/TV contract. Since then, it's been a war of words between the two performers' unions, which kicked up a notch after AFTRA brokered its deal with the AMPTP.
