At the end of March 2008, it was announced that the entertainment labor union known as AFTRA split from it's sister union, SAG. AFTRA president Roberta Reardon states "We can't trust SAG. Their leaders have engaged in a concerted effort to tarnish AFTRA's reputation and diminish our standing." According to Variety.com, SAG president Alan Rosenberg described AFTRA's move as a long-planned power grab to sell out actors by offering low-ball contracts. "I think what AFTRA's done is unconscionable, and I'm sick of getting lectures about trust from them," he declared. "I'm furious about what they've done."
