SAG President?s Anti-SAG Suit Continues

By Jonathan Handel, Esq.

For those who like keeping up with legal dockets, SAG a few days ago filed its Respondent?s Brief in the appeals court case that stems from the lawsuit filed by SAG president Alan Rosenberg and three other Membership First hardliners (1st VP Anne-Marie Johnson and board members Diane Ladd and Kent McCord) against their own union.

Rosenberg et al will shortly file another brief, then (as I?ve previously outlined) there may be oral argument and then there will ultimately be a decision. But that?s just on the appeal. The case also proceeds in the lower court as well, and will probably continue to do so regardless of the outcome in the appellate court. Not that there?s any good reason for this case to continue in either court . . .
