Screen Actors Guild opposes smaller union's studio deal

LOS ANGELES — The president of the Screen Actors Guild has encouraged a vote against a proposed contract deal between a smaller union and Hollywood studios.



The move came as SAG tries to reach its own deal with producers.



The guild previously asked the American Federation of Television and Radio Performers to delay a membership vote on its proposed agreement with studios, but AFTRA has refused.



SAG President Alan Rosenberg said at a union rally Monday it's essential to vote down the AFTRA deal. SAG says that would help it negotiate a better agreement.
