Mr. William Daniels
President
Screen Actors Guild
5757 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036-3600

Dear Bill:

I want you to know that the DGA stands ready to support you in every way we can as you prepare for a strike against commercial producers on May 1.

The DGA stands with you in solidarity in your effort to obtain well-deserved gains for Screen Actors Guild members and in opposing contract rollbacks that threaten the standard of living for SAG members.

The labor history of our industry has demonstrated that there is only one way to advance our shared collective bargaining objectives and that is through the strength that comes with unity, both amongst our members and between our Guilds.

You can proceed with your negotiations knowing that your brothers and sisters of the DGA stand in support of your efforts.

Fraternally,

JACK SHEA
President
