Representatives of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers met for four hours on Wednesday with leaders of the Screen Actors Guild to answer questions about their final offer to the union. The AMPTP later issued a statement saying that the union had asked for more time to study the offer and would contact the producers on Monday. "We remain hopeful that SAG will advise that it is accepting our final offer. No further meetings are scheduled," the statement said. A formal response from SAG is not expected until after AFTRA announces the results of its ratification vote on Tuesday. Meanwhile, SAG members manned the phones Wednesday, phoning fellow members who also hold AFTRA union cards to urge them to vote down the "terrible contract" that AFTRA had negotiated with the AMPTP. Other dual cardholders received a recorded phone message from Sean Penn, which said that the AFTRA deal amounted to "corporate appeasement."
