RE: 2019 SAG-AFTRA National Presidential Elections and Los Angeles Local Elections Complaint

Via Email: - A PDF Copy of this Letter can be Found below at Attachment

Confirmation of Receipt of Amended Complaint Requested

Kind Greetings Honorable Edgar Oquendo, Et al.:

Please pardon me for not being able to attach this letter to the Complaint email that was sent on November
7, 2019, due to more untimely technological challenges, the fact that the larger files would not attach, and
even after being compressed, the upload process was incredibly slow. When my software froze for the
umpteenth time, pursuant to my telecommunications conversation with Troy Krouse and Honorable District
Director Edgar Oquendo, so that my initial Complaint would be received by the deadline, I sent the
Complaint email, as is, containing SAG-AFTRA’s Final Decision, my Protest and Appeal to SAG-
AFTRA, and my Additional Testimony that I sent to the UNION on October 2, 2019 via email (Which,
mysteriously, I could find no evidence of such email being sent, trashed, or returned undeliverable).
Unfortunately, after my conversation with Director Oquendo, on November 7, 2019 my computer shut
down and I was not able to verify that the large SAG-AFTRA Final Decision file attached and that the
email was sent until the next day. The original completed copy of this letter, that I attempted to attach, was
permanently lost and I had to begin over from a much earlier version.

Fortunately, when I regained access to the internet, I found additional supporting information which further
corroborates my staunch belief that the issue first raised by Brian Hamilton was more than merely an
Employer paid commercial, but was rather the first of an Employer sponsored, six-video SAG-AFTRA
Presidential Campaign, for the incumbent, Gabrielle Carteris. The actual Employer paid commercial (see
URL link 6(a)), promoting Carteris’ campaign, was aired on Fox11 Los Angeles August 7, 2019, hours
prior to the first episode of the six-series, employer sponsored campaign, that was billed with the specific
purpose of reconnecting Gabrielle Carteris with her fans of 30 years. August 7, 2019 is also the date that
the SAG-AFTRA National Officer Election Committee erroneously identified as the date of the
controversial discriminatory SAG-AFTRA Town-Hall Debate, on page 24 of their cursory final decision,
wherein they summarily dismissed all Election Protests.

1
As discussed in my Additional Testimony Statement, (see URL link 1) the vileness of discrimination is
causing such severe emotional and mental anguish and divisiveness among members, that I consider it
necessary to continue my plight to be heard by joining the numerous Member Appeals to the United States
Department of Labor, Et al. to seek closure and justice for all SAG-AFTRA Members and their fans. And
to not allow this precedent setting SAG-AFTRA meeting to stand as an unchallenged act that nullifies the
SAG-AFTRA Constitution, The SAG-AFTRA Nominations and Election Policy, The Office of Labor
Management Standards (OMLS), Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 as amended
(LMRDA) and desecrates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

After the SAG-AFTRA 2019 Annual Membership Meeting held on May 5, 2019, it became crystal clear,
that to effectuate necessary change within the UNION and to restore control to the SAG-AFTRA
Membership; rather than to allow Entertainment Industry puppeteers to continue diminishing the net worth,
as well as, the self-worth of actors and other entertainment professionals; that I must seek a National and
Local Presidential seat in an effort to make the Voices of Membership heard and to compel any and all
candidates to make commitments to implement corrective measures. Merely seeking the office of National
and Local Board Member, or accepting Matthew Modine’s offer to run on his Membership First Slate as a
‘Convention delegate’ would not fulfill said objectives, as only Presidential Candidates can participate in
debates and garner local and national media attention. In addition to emotional distress, the unanticipated
bullying and discrimination that I have experienced has resulted in physical health issues, particularly, the
final decision of the National Election Committee. Left to stand, it invalidates the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and sets a standard to make it null and void within SAG-AFTRA! It has substantially negatively impacted
my self-esteem and has caused me to not only despise the current leadership, and other members, it nearly
caused me to leave the UNION and become a FiCore Member, or to altogether quit the industry, save a
recent ON AIR opening statement by Steve Harvey, wherein he said “…Don’t you DARE QUIT!”

If the NATIONAL OFFICER ELECTION COMMITTEE (hereinafter Committee) is permitted to sanction


the flagrant unjust actions and inactions of those in positions of leadership, precedents that are against the
SAG-AFTRA Constitution Article IX(A)(2)(b) will remain in effect. This article forbids the National
Board from revoking…or taking any action that violates the Constitution, or to take any action that
establishes any new policy. As a condition or membership, ALL members of the UNION agree to comply
with the rules, policies and procedures of the SAG-AFTRA Constitution, which has several well-
established policies that coincide with Federal Laws. Gabrielle Carteris, Jane Austin and Matthew Modine
have chosen to display repugnant disregard for their oath of office by working in concert with an “outside
organization, to which each of them are individually affiliated; to authorize, promote on social media,
participate in, and thereafter, publicly applaud the organizers of a SAG-AFTRA 2019 Presidential Debate,
which was wholly discriminatory against the only two candidates of Color, Abraham Justice and Queen
AllJAHyé Searles. They must be held accountable for their gross injustices (For more details study
Tables 1 & 2 included herewith and this URL to an explanatory video. ).

Five SAG-AFTRA members rendered a cronyistic final decision, that evades the allegations of
Discrimination, Freedom of Speech and Equal Treatment; as opposed to one based on a sagacious
interpretation of the SAG-AFTRA Constitution, applicable Federal laws and basic morality. They must be
prevented from blaspheming the SAG-AFTRA Union and giving the appearance that this unjust decision,
which eviscerates the Civil Rights Act, is representative of the entire, approximately160,000, SAG-AFTRA
Membership! Their reckless Final Decision and categorical denial rendered on page 25 at XVI (See
Attachment 4), is a cunning and superficial discussion comprised of immaterial boilerplate responses that
avoid the issues of Complainant’s Protest, namely:

a) Discrimination;

2
b) Misuse of SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property, specifically, allowing an outside
organization to misuse its stationery, name and logo to promote a SAG-AFTRA
“Union Meeting” and SAG-AFTRA Presidential Town Hall a UnionWorking to
https://mobile.twitter.com/UnionWorking/status/1158434334543511552?s=19

c) Failure to protect the rights and best interest of SAG-AFTRA Members;


d) Violation of the SAG-AFTRA Constitutional Objectives, as well as Federal Laws. (See
Attachment 2 pgs. 2-7);
e) Violation of VI(B)(c) – furthering the objectives and policies of the UNION as set forth
in the SAG-AFTRA Constitution. (See Table 2 for additional details)

Moreover, the Committee attempts to delude readers into believing that this was not a SAG-AFTRA
UNION Meeting, that “SAG-AFTRA played no role whatsoever in the [SAG-AFTRA Presidential]
Town Hall” and that, SAG-AFTRA member Jim Connor “organized and publicized the event without
funds, resources or other support from SAG-AFTRA.” These are preposterous equivocations as they
fail to acknowledge that, per Article VI of the SAG-AFTRA Constitution, the President, Executive
Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, etc., are the Union Officers and that the President is the “Chief
Spokesperson for the Union and shall represent the Union in affiliated and other organizations. By
their participation in a “SAG-AFTRA Presidential Town Hall” in their official capacities and by
allowing an organization to use the SAG-AFTRA Name, Logo and stationery in promotional emails, as
well as on the UnionWorking website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc, coupled with the
fact that, it was admittedly organized by at least one SAG-AFTRA member, is direct “SAG-AFTRA”
Support by constitutional definition” (See Complainant’s Protest Attachment 2 pg. 3 or URL LINK #7
to the SAG-AFTRA Constitution).

Further, the fact that the chosen candidates retweeted and posted the event on their social media
networks, it appears that Carteris, Austin, and Modine as well as other National Officers and Board
members conspired with, encouraged, assisted in organizing and possibly helped finance, the hosting
of a UNION meeting for a “SAG-AFTRA Presidential Debate, with the specific purpose of obstructing
justice and denying equal treatment of all candidates by obviating relative provisions of the SAG-
AFTRA Constitution, SAG-AFTRA Nominations And Election Policy and the OMLS as can be
readily understood from the Attached Tables 1 & 2.

The Committee correctly acknowledges that UnionWorking would be categorized as an ‘other


organization,’ however, to deem it as unaffiliated with SAG-AFTRA is a serious misnomer. The
UnionWorking membership is comprised of several SAG-AFTRA Officers, National and Local Board
members, as well as a multitude of SAG-AFTRA members and thus affirmatively establishes an
affiliation through key SAG-AFTRA membership associations.

While they discuss inadequacies of Hefti’s supporting exhibit’s, they neglect to acknowledge Queen
AllJAHyé’s Exhibit A Attachment to her Protest (See Attachment 2 pg. 13), which was filed in second
of, and as an extenuation of all Protests filed, including particularly, Hefti’s Protest (See Attachment 2
pg. 2 ¶4). Said exhibit provides evidence that the SAG-AFTRA Name is intellectual property and is
thus a SAG-AFTRA resource that was misused by an organization which organized a discriminatory
Town-Hall debate and summarily denied candidates Queen Searles and Abraham Justice the right to
equal treatment and freedom of speech in violation of the Office of Labor-Management Standards
(OMLS) Campaign Rules (4)(a) .

Further, Gabrielle Carteris rushed the negotiations with Netflix, without procuring sufficient input
from actors, merely to boast of her successful contract deal in her campaign statement and also
apparently either concerted with Election Staff to change her candidate statement after the June 28,
2019 deadline or alternatively breached confidentiality by sharing insider information with Election
Staff. No other Presidential Candidate had privy to such information and was therefore prevented from
intelligently discussing the feasibility of its fairness relative to the entire SAG-AFTRA Membership.
This unethical conduct is of express concern to Background Artists, whose livelihood and best interests
were either neglected or substantially underrepresented in the recent “New Media” contract
negotiations.

Additionally, Carteris’ employer, Fox Corporation, sponsored a six-episode National Campaign


accompanied with a National Kick-off Commercial advertising her campaign for SAG-AFTRA
President by marketing it as a “Reboot” of BH90210 and Gabrielle playing an “exaggerated” version
of herself as President of the “Actors Guild of America,” which when Googled displays SAG-
AFTRA. Said campaign was dully cancelled after the sixth episode aired. Fox announced the
cancellation on November 7, 2019, which was the deadline for Appeals to be filed with the Department
of Labor see more details below.

Having exhausted all of the internal remedies for Protesting Union Elections provide by the Screen
Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, in accordance with the Labor-
Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), Title IV – Elections, (29 U.S.C. 482) § 402 (a)
(1), Queen AllJAHye Searles humbly registers with your office her Complaint of the final DECISION
OF THE NATIONAL OFFICER ELECTION COMMITTEE DISMISSING ALL POST-
ELECTION PROTESTS OF THE SAG-AFTRA 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The
nature of her complaint arises out of the failure of SAG-AFTRA National Officer Election Committee
members, Ray Proscia, Chair, Steve Bayorgeon, Marcy Goldman, Jim Mutaugh and Sally Weldon; to
remedy gross violations of, not only the SAG-AFTRA Constitution, its Preamble, and the SAG-
AFTRA Nominations and Election Policy; but they have neglected to remedy flagrant violations of
the LMRDA Title IV, the United States Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Moreover,
egregious inactions and actions of SAG-AFTRA Presidential Candidates Gabrielle Carteris, Jane
Austin and Matthew Modine whereby, in their official capacities of Union Leaders, i.e., National
President, National Secretary-Treasurer, and National Board member respectively; they condoned
misuse of the SAG-AFTRA Name by an organization whose actions are antagonistic to a SAG-
AFTRA core value, “that our strength is in our diversity…We are proud to be a model of inclusion,
democratic organization and governance.”

They knowingly and willfully collaborated with UnionWorking organizers and participated in a
discriminatory exclusionary SAG-AFTRA Town-Hall Presidential Debate that alienated, shamed and
silenced the voices of Union Members and Presidential Candidates of Color, Queen AllJAHyé Searles
and Abraham Justice. Thereafter, individually, Carteris, Modine and Austin publicly praised the event
organizers and caused intensified humiliation for the ostracized minority candidates in the public, on
social media and in their professions. (see https://deadline.com/2019/08/sag-aftra-elections-leading-
candidates-r-pitches-presidential-town-hall-gabrielle-carteris-matthew-modine-jane-austin-
1202669519/).

A perfunctory investigation by the National Officer Election Committee has discredited the abhorrent
Union Election Violations as set forth in the timely Election Protest filed by all SAG-AFTRA
Members and exonerates Gabrielle Carteris, Matthew Modine and Jane Austin. In their dismissal, the
Election Committee evaded the crux of Queen AllJAHyé Searles’ formal Protest and Appeal of the
4
2019 SAG-AFTRA Elections which is included herewith as Attachment 2 and also recklessly
dismissed each of her fellow union members Protests. As BAC Co-Chairs, Susan Kathryn Hefti and
Katrine Hoyt, profoundly expressed in the complaint filed with the DOL and made a part hereof by
reference, “these serious Union Election violations undermined the opportunity for a fair and
democratic Union Election process while indelibly affecting the outcome of the 2019 SAG-AFTRA
Union Election.” Additionally, they cause critical diminution of Members earnings, residuals, health
insurance and pension for which The Congress enacted OMLS 29U.S.C. §401 2(c) to prevent.

Requested Relief:

I hereby request the following from the United States Department of Labor:

1. A thorough investigation of the:


a) FINAL DECISION OF THE NATIONAL OFFICER ELECTION COMMITTEE
DISMISSAL OF ALL POST-ELECTION PROTESTS OF THE SAG-AFTRA 2019
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION;
b) The relationship between Gabrielle Carteris, Jane Austin, Matthew Modine and other
Officers who worked in conjunction with the UnionWorking Organization;
c) An audit of SAG-AFTRA finances and use of resources by the aforesaid individual
candidates.

2. A finding in accordance with (29 U.S.C. 482) §402 (b) & (c)(2)-- Upon a preponderance of the
evidence supporting Complainant’s allegations that the three incumbent National SAG-AFTRA
Officials and Candidates for Local and National offices, condoned the dissemination of notices
by email, on social media, and/or otherwise, advertising the “Union Meeting” that was hosted
August 15th (rather than on August 7th as the Committee erroneously stated in Their decision),
by an ‘outside organization’ known as UnionWorking (an organization to which each of these
Candidates are affiliated); And that such abuse of the SAG-AFTRA Brand Name, Stationery,
Logo, it’s National Officers and any other UNION resources that were utilized to invite only
the three Caucasian National SAG-AFTRA Presidential Candidates to a Town Hall Debate that
was wholly discriminatory; are in violation of all laws that protect citizens against
discrimination, albeit masked through collusion with an outside labor organization.

3. Find that the SAG-AFTRA NATIONAL OFFICER ELECTION COMMITTEE members Ray
Proscia, Steve Bayorgeon, Marcy Goldman, Jim Murtaugh, and Sally Weldon have failed to
exercise perspicacity in interpreting the SAG-AFTRA Constitution and to ethically fulfill their
responsibilities in accordance with the OMLS and neglected to hold National Officers,
Gabrielle Carteris, President, Jane Austin, Secretary-Treasurer and National Board Member,
Matthew Modine, et al. accountable for gross violations of their fiduciary duties.

4. Find that the airing of the six-episode series Reboot of BH90210 by Fox on behalf of Gabrielle
Carteris was a promotional campaign that was advertised with an employer paid national
commercial which aired on FOX August 7, 2019 prior to the series being launched that
evening. And moreover, it was a crafty reminder to her fans for over 30 years, that she is the
reigning SAG-AFTRA President who is in a position to protect them from Member verses
Member charges; as is currently being done for Kevin Hart, et al. These “mediations that are
stalled or considered unfounded and therefore, never brought to the perpetrators attention by
“Gabby” and her cronyistic Committees, not only deprive A list actors of the opportunity to

5
fairly and peacefully resolve issues without court intervention and excessive media attention,
they rob unrenowned artists of income, pension and health benefits, royalties, etc. and strips
them of their pride and self-worth, unless of course they can afford an attorney. Leaders like
the ones currently in office are causing serious divisiveness and dissention among members.
The episode that aired on August 14, 2019, made Complainant realize that Kevin Hart is not the
problem, Lionsgate is not the problem, the core of the problem is a corrupt and audacious SAG-
AFTRA leadership who are engulfed in using their positions for their own best interests.

These episodes are not an “exaggeration” of Gabrielle Carteris’ real-life self. They are reflections of
herself which had Member herein in serious discourse with a family member who commented, “you
are crazy if you try to take Kevin Hart & Lionsgate to court, do you know what they could do to you,
they could kill you and nobody will even know what happened to you…” then he laughed in my face
after uttering other indecencies: A Facebook friend blocked member from her page and deleted her
post which was in response to a series of praise being given to Hart, a man who many deem to be an
honorable person of good moral character and an outstanding actor. She had to PRAY for forgiveness
for wishing that he had met his demise when he was involved in a car accident earlier this year. She is
so GRATEFUL for his recovery as a SIGN of MERCY and GRACE that THE GREAT I AM Forgives
her for the sin of hatred that she expressed for a man who she doesn’t really know. Only Because
SAG-AFTRA leadership has divested her right to mediation with him and/or his representatives
concerning a grave incident to which he is a party. He may not even be aware of the suffering that she
endured while on and after filming an episode of his What the Fit productions; and who certainly may
have no way of knowing that said incident has resulted in recurring nightmares of being lost in the
mountainous areas of Corona with no cell phone…after being put in an Uber with a driver who had
been given a destination far from the set location by one of Hart’s angry production team members…
Over two years later, she still occasionally suffers through nightmares, particularly when travesties
happen to homeless people in remote areas such as the other night.

https://www.sgvtribune.com/2019/10/15/homeless-man-who-was-found-dead-in-west-covina-died-of-a-gunshot-wound/

It is time for an overhaul in the SAG-AFTRA leadership so that members rights are protected
and that real, meaningful and fair internal investigations and mediations are conducted that
yield positive outcomes and mutual resolutions. Carteris’ production of an episode wherein she
eludes to being willing to conduct or stall mediations in the best interest of “her and her
industry friends,” if they ‘ask nicely’ [forget about the douchebag who was punched; is a slap
in the face to those who know that member complaints are being ignored, whitewashed, and
concealed under the SAG-AFTRA badge of “confidentiality!” Moreover, it is an unethical
form of corruption that represents a detestable breach of member trust and demonstrates
disdainful disregard for the rights of individuals. Current leadership seeks to silence the voice
of victims of injustices and/or to make them appear as nuisance complainers and/or the cause of
their own victimization.

5. Find that the mail-in voting process, which was a revolutionary advancement in 1959, is now
antiquated based on today’s high-tech systems that provid fair opportunities for every member
to vote, not based on their location, which subjects Members to an unfair guessing game about
the variable Mail-by-date which each member must carefully calculate themselves for their
ballots to possibly be received by 6:30 AM. At a Post Office Box Not only does SAG-AFTRA

6
not provide ample time for Members to read Candidate statements, SAG-AFTRA’s current
unfair voting practices invalidates the entire elections as it discourages members from voting
and many of those who do vote cannot be sure that their ballots are received by 6:30 AM at an
unknown Post Office Box 30 days after they are placed in the mail. Current laws do not even
allow the postmark to indicated the date for ballots are to be mailed by.

Although it is said that in-person voting, on a date and time certain in various nationwide
locations, would be too costly, collectively, SAG-AFTRA Members have earnings of trillions
of dollars and deserve to have a fair opportunity to elect leaders who they can trust with their
assets. Under the current leadership Members are paying over $6,000,000.00 per year for the
lavish offices of SAG-AFTRA Employees rather than investing in SAG-AFTRA long-term
fixed capital assets that includes land and buildings. Surely an investment in revamping the
1959 antiquated method of voting to more accurately align with the current needs of our
membership, particularly our celebrity victors who constantly travel, is a worthwhile
investment that is long overdue. SAG-AFTRA Headquarters is located in California, which is
an Ambassador State for ensuring voters’ right to have their votes counted and the voices of
their citizens heard. SAG-AFTRA is one of the largest Unions in the world and members
should demand that funds are utilized to keep up with technology and the rapidly changing
times in which we live, work and play, particularly whereas it relates to implementing voting
practices that afford every member the right to vote, a right which is not predicated on their zip
codes or their location on the planet.

6. That they exercise the authority vested in them by The Congress to retrieve SAG-AFTRA
records and flies, conduct a judicious audit and declare the 2019 SAG-AFTRA NATIONAL
AND LOCAL ELECTIONS VOID.

7. And for a (29 U.S.C. 482) § 402 (d) order directing an election with the names of Gabrielle
Carteris, Matthew Modine and Jane Austin stricken from the Ballots, as well as any other
National and Local Officers or Board Members who are found to be operating unethically and
in concert with the production of the exclusionary and discriminatory August 15, 2019 SAG-
AFTRA Presidential Town-Hall.

8. Notwithstanding that the investigator stated that nominations will be reopened in case of a e-
election, it is the opinion of Complainant that to reopen nominations would not only further
delay the election of Officers to resume the remainder of the two-term, it will provide the
opportunity for incumbent factions to slate different faces with the same agendas, particularly
to prevent a person of color from ever gaining a leadership position.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any additional information. I look forward
to hearing from you.

Your kind consideration to this matter is greatly appreciated. I AM happy to answer any question and
provide you with additional information.

Sincerely Submitted,

awareness of New Media loopholes and announces her plans to run for SAG-AFTRA National
and Local Board Member. However, she decided to run for the positions that the incumbents
held, after several exaggerations were made by Board Members, including:

a) “The law requires that “voting is done by mail.” (If this is true it’s time to Lobby for
CHANGE of THE LAW)!
b) That a meeting would be arranged between Complainant and Local President, Jane Austin
by Friday, May 10, 2019 to discuss the Member V Member Complaint against Kevin Hart.
c) SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator David White promised to
“personally read” the aforementioned Member verses Member Charges.
(Notice the JOY on the face of Complainant in the photos with National President Carteris,
Local President Austin, Chief Negotiator David White and other
Union leaders and then imagine the extreme hurt and disappointment experienced when she
realizes that promises made were a farce).

fans across the country. “We are so proud to have reunited in a very special
summer event one of the network’s legacy series and casts with 90210 fans
across the country,” Fox said in a statement. “Profound thanks to and respect

entire crew and everyone at Fox and CBS Television Studios, poured their hearts
and souls into this truly inventive and nostalgic revival.”

Complaint’s staunch contention that this entire reboot was to connect the fans of Gabrielle
Carteris with “a very special summer event,” that event being the 2019 SAG-AFTRA
National Elections. As also complained of by Member Brian Hamilton in his official

Presidential Town-Hall was a collaboration between UnionWorking and SAG-AFTRA

This retweet by Gabrielle Carteris & her UFS Team substantiates


that, not only is this a SAG-AFTRA ONLY Union Meeting, THIS
IS A CONCERTED EXCLUSIONARY CONSPIRACY, to craftily
circumvent the Constitution, disregard the OMLS and eviscerate
the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Only SAG-AFTRA MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING can attend


Making this an official SAG-AFTRA UNION Meeting and all the SAG-
AFTRA elected officials who are vested with the fiduciary duty to protect
members from outside organizations who do not have the best interest of https://www.instarix.org/media/2097552362769264882
members and who engage members in activities that are strictly prohibited
by the SAG-AFTRACONSTITUTION, worked in concert with this
organization with the express purpose of discriminating and excluding
members of color from the First SAG-AFTRA TOWN-HALL DEBATE!

SAG-AFTRA Officer, SAG-AFTRA Chief Spokesperson,


THE FACE OF SAG-AFTRA, National President Gabrielle
Carteris publicly commends an ‘outside’ organization for
giving her a platform to exclude SAG-AFTRA Presidential
Members of Color from the first time every SAG-AFTRA
Presidential hall and for giving her the opportunity to
campaign before paid-up SAG-AFTRA members.
Members are constantly publicly misled by leadership. They DO NOT
have until the 28th to vote and mailing ballots by August 24 CANNOT
ensure that ballots will be received by August 28, 2019 at 6:30 AM!!!
The mail back by date varies by location and Zip Code
This fact makes this process fair to count as a fair absentee voting
process as it DOES NOT allow for any mail time differentials
within the states, nonetheless for members working globally!

NOT ONE MEDIA NEWS SOURCE has been willing to comment on the blatnant DISCRIMINATION within
SAG-AFTRA which could lead to the EVISCERATION of THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT
