The Screen Actors Guild said over the weekend that its president, Alan Rosenberg, and national executive director, Doug Allen, met with federal mediator Juan Carlos Gonzalez to discuss SAG's request for mediation in its stalemated negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Gonzalez is scheduled to meet with AMPTP representatives on Thursday. Industry observers have expressed little hope that the mediator will be able to find a middle ground acceptable to both sides. If he is unsuccessful, the union is expected to send strike-authorization ballots to its membership by the end of next month.
