have emphasized to their 18,000 members that the special committee headed by Stephen Soderbergh is working “day and night” to reopen production as soon as possible.
“The Committee is working day and night to determine what a safe return to production can and should look like,” the duo said. “We’re being incredibly diligent in our approach, applying the latest science, and consulting with top medical experts and risk analysts. But as you know from the intricacies of production, there are a lot of complex issues involved, not to mention the fluidity of this situation, and the many unknowns. We are in the thick of it now.
“As Brando said in ‘On the Waterfront,’ ‘There’s more to this than I thought, Charley … there’s a lot more.’ As things progress, we’ll be sharing our work with our sister unions and with employers – taking in their feedback to ensure it reflects the reality of every area. There’s much left to be done, but there’s a lot riding on this, and it’s just too important to not get it right,” the pair said.
“We are also pleased to share more on our Guild’s work to fast-track income into members’ pockets when you most need it,” they said. “You’ll remember that our residuals department has been firing on all cylinders to do just that. Our foreign levies team has also been working around the clock and will begin distributing millions of dollars in foreign levies in the next few days.
