Quote
"Today's vote reflects the ability of AFTRA members to recognize a solid contract when they see it. We were faced with an unprecedented situation of another union mounting a well-funded and ferocious attack on our contract-ratification process. In the face of that kind of attack, I think the percentage that ratified this contract is really good, and I'm thrilled." -Roberta Reardon, AFTRA presidentThe Hollywood Reporter: AFTRA Ratifies Contract (July 9, 2008)-
