Not unsurprisingly you are once again starting to hear people call for another merger from New York and the rest of the country. It’s no coincidence these demands are from people who are supporting the AFTRA deal. But if they really thought the AFTRA deal was valid they wouldn’t be suggesting another merger. It’s obvious they really don’t like the deal. Now honestly, it can’t make any sense to defend AFTRA’s contract while at the same time saying we wouldn’t have the problem with a merged union.
