AFTRA FLASH!

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
“Indecency” Legislation
The Senate is poised to vote on its own version of Indecency legislation purportedly intended to curb indecency on the airwaves -- The Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act (S. 193). Currently this Senate legislation does not contain fines on individual performers and announcers, nor does a similar bill aimed at broadcast violence sponsored by Senators Rockefeller (D-WV) and Hutchison (R-TX). We must act now to make sure those individual fines don't get added and that any bill passed does not have the secondary consequence of chilling free speech and artistic expression. Go to Speak Out to the Senate on Indecency to Take Action.

An Update on Protections for Child Performers in New York and New Jersey
Several months ago, a coalition of entertainment industry organizations and labor unions began meeting with New Jersey State Department Labor and Workforce representatives, as well as the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission, in order to expand protections for child performers to the state of New Jersey - protections had previously been enacted in New York. Representatives from AFTRA, SAG, and Actors' Equity Association joined the Motion Picture Association of America and the Association of Independent Commercial Producers in the state's capital to begin the process of examining the work rules, education standards and production output in order to draft appropriate legislation.

As with New York's "Child Performer Education and Trust Act of 2003,” the NJ legislation will address three main areas: work rules and permitting, trust fund accounts (or Coogan Accounts) and education provisions for work during school days. With the NJ Legislature currently on break, the focus has now shifted back to New York where a bill has been introduced to clarify the roles of the state's Labor Department and Comptroller in handling the monies within the Child Performer's Holding Fund.

The NY State Assembly bill, A5771, would amend the 2003 Act in clarifying the educational requirements for child performers who work during school days and the management of their earnings. In Albany, Assemblywoman Helene E. Weinstein is the primary sponsor of A5771, which deals with on-site teaching, when that instruction would commence and the providing of "substantially equivalent education." This bill would also propose transferring unclaimed monies in a child performer's Holding Fund to the state's abandoned property fund.

The educational requirements in both states are a critical component in balancing the responsibilities of parent, union, state and employer. Guaranteeing education to child performers, protecting their earnings and achieving consistency of regulations from state to state are all a high priority as AFTRA continues to work in bringing meaningful protections to its youngest members.

AFL-CIO Endorses Bill of Media Rights
Meeting in Las Vegas March 1-3, the AFL-CIO Executive Council voted to endorse the Bill of Media Rights and urged its affiliated unions to sign on. The Council stated: “In our nation, no other entity is as potent or pervasive as the American media in influencing though and attitudes, impacting our democracy and shaping the popular culture. Given this power, American citizens share the responsibility for making sure the media is held to the highest standards of ethics, fairness and objectivity. The AFL-CIO endorses the Bill of Media Rights as the standard-bearer for our ongoing campaign to achieve that goal, as well as the goal of a diverse, competitive, reliable and unbiased marketplace of ideas. We urge our affiliated national unions to sign on to the statement and our state and local labor councils to support community efforts to hold local media accountable.”

AFTRA has been active in the debate around media consolidation since the beginning. Go to AFTRA to get more information about this campaign to preserve diversity, localism, access and artistic freedom in the media industry.

SOUND RECORDINGS NOTES
AFTRA Files Amici Brief in Second Circuit to Uphold Anti-Bootlegging Statute
In 1994, Congress enacted the anti-bootlegging statute, which prohibits the unauthorized copying of live musical performances and the manufacture and distribution of such recordings, commonly known as bootlegs. A District Court in New York had struck down the Anti-Bootlegging Statute as unconstitutional. The government appealed, defending the Constitutionality of the statute, and AFTRA, along with other performer and industry groups, filed an amici brief supporting the government. Bootlegs harm both the artists performing live and the record companies producing and distributing legitimate recordings. On a basic level, bootlegging deprives performers and recording companies of revenue in terms of lost sales and royalties. Bootlegs also destroy the performers' exclusive control over the nature and distribution of their property rights

.AFTRA Requests that the Copyright Office Examine Issue of Out-of-Print Sound Recording Copyrights
Due to the rapid consolidation of the media and copyright industries throughout the world, each year more and more copyrighted sound recordings become unavailable to the public. Because recording artists routinely transfer their copyrights in their recording agreements, there are many recording artists who want to exploit their works but cannot do so because another party controls the underlying rights, namely, their current or former record labels. At this time, there are thousands of records that are commercially unavailable because record labels have decided no longer to manufacture and distribute them.

We requested that the Copyright Office issue a Notice of Inquiry about issuing a compulsory license so that the recording artist would be able to exploit his/her recordings if the copyright owner is not doing so. Copyright was never intended to become a warehouse to capture culture and make it unavailable. As you may recall, AFTRA has taken up this issue in our last collective bargaining negotiations with labels and also on Capitol Hill.

LABOR UPDATES
FIA calls for Boycott of Blue Man Group
Canadian Equity - together with the American Federation of Musicians and IATSE - has resolved to take a tough position against the Blue Man Group, a very successful production company that operates in the USA and is now about to franchise in Canada and in the UK. This company is 100% non-union, despite the fact that is has an enormous success and generates huge revenues. FIA has sent a letter of support and is following this matter very closely. You can read more about this campaign and any progress made at Blue Man Group Boycott.

Please, help CAEA and sister Canadian unions fight this battle by NOT auditioning for or accepting work from the Blue Man Group, until they have agreed to sign an acceptable deal with CAEA.

Support UNITE HERE Hotel Workers
For almost one year, 3,000 housekeepers, cooks, servers, dishwashers, bellmen, front desk and PBX operators have worked without a contract as hotel owners continue to deny them a living wage, safe workloads and affordable heath insurance.

AFTRA continues to support our union brothers and sisters by boycotting the following nine Los Angeles hotels involved in this dispute: Century Plaza, St. Regis, Wilshire Grand, Bonaventure, Regent Beverly Wilshire, Hyatt West Hollywood, Hyatt Regency, Millennium Biltmore.

We will NOT spend your dues money at these establishments until UNITE HERE has achieved a fair contract. We urge you to show solidarity to these workers and refrain from meeting, eating or sleeping in these hotels.

American Rights at Work
American Rights at Work (ARAW), an independent, nonprofit advocacy group, dedicated to protecting the right of working Americans to organize and join unions, sent its top officials, Chair David Bonior and Executive Director Mary Beth Maxwell, to California to meet with representatives in the entertainment industry and the labor movement. AFTRA staff set up meetings for ARAW with film and TV writers, Hollywood craft union leaders and the USC Annenberg School for Communication.

President John Connolly and his wife Bronni Stein hosted a reception for ARAW at their home on March 23rd with more than 75 guests, including officers and staff of AFTRA, the WGA, the IATSE, the AFL-CIO, and community and business leaders. At a luncheon the next day AFTRA officers and staff met with Bonior and Maxwell to brief our D.C. visitors on the issues facing our union and our industry.

The Los Angeles visit was an eye-opener for ARAW. Among the organization’s key goals is to encourage the creative community to more frequently and accurately portray the struggles of working families and to improve the image of organized labor in the public mind.

On March 31, ARAW held its first Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Awards Gala at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington. Representing AFTRA at the affair was First National Vice President Bob Edwards.

AFTRA Hosts Jorge Bosso, President of the Union de Actores
de España as he visits Los Angeles
On Friday April 1st, AFTRA welcomed Jorge Bosso, President of the Union de Actores de España and a leader of Fédération Internationale des Acteurs (FIA) to Los Angeles with a series of events intended to highlight AFTRA’s ongoing efforts to organize telenovelas and other Spanish-language production. Mr. Bosso, a prominent film and telenovela actor in Spain, joined AFTRA National President John P. Connolly and several members of the AFTRA Los Angeles Local and National Boards to meet with Spanish-language and Latino actors, writers, directors and producers at a breakfast reception hosted by the AFTRA Los Angeles Local. Following the reception, Mr. Bosso accompanied AFTRA National and Local Board member Jason George to CBS Television City to the set of CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” to visit with AFTRA daytime serial stars Susan Flannery and John McCook.

Speaking of Mr. Bosso’s visit, President Connolly said, “Like AFTRA’s work with Mexico’s Asociación Nacional de Actores (ANDA) last fall and our December reception for the delegation from the Vietnamese Confederation of Labor, this meeting with Señor Bosso was an excellent opportunity to build vital international labor relationships and to develop the these relationships among our rank-and-file members, our elected leadership and our staff. AFTRA is honored to have welcomed Señor Bosso and his family to Los Angeles. It was especially important to AFTRA that we take this opportunity with Senor Bosso to develop a relationship not only as trade unionists but as artists.”

California Residents - Read Before You Sign
There are already 70 ballot initiatives filed with the California Secretary of State, and people out there gathering signatures for petitions. With a possible special election this November and the upcoming June 2006 primary, please read each petition carefully before you sign it so that you understand the proposed legislation. Do not rely on the explanation of the signature gatherers: these individuals are paid for each signature and often are not even themselves from California. Some of these ballot measures may be harmful to the working people of California, and to your personal interests. While AFTRA may not take a position on any one piece of legislation, it is in the best interests of our members that they make informed decisions. AFTRAns earn their living a variety of ways that may not have the protection of a collective bargaining agreement. Read before you sign - cast an informed vote.

On March 21 Kansas City AFTRA members honored Don Scott, retiring Executive Director.

Members presented Don with a '"memory book" and John Connolly sent an Angel award, thanking him for his years of service, first as a board member, then office staffer and finally Executive Director. One of Don's early challenges was organizing the photographers at WDAF, the local Fox affiliate. He handled it with such ease, cunning and grace that no one in the room would have guessed it was his first contract negotiation. But then, that's our Don; a warm, classy guy to members, a tough as nails negotiator to producers. Thank God he was on our side. The best to you my friend now and always. - Larry Greer, KC President

WE REMEMBER
Johnnie Cochran Jr. (1937 – 2005), a lawyer of notable flair and creativity who served as the host of programs on Court TV and as a legal commentator on NBC and elsewhere. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Cochran was the great-grandson of a slave. He was raised in Los Angeles and attended UCLA. He graduated in 1959 and earned his law degree from Loyola Marymount University in 1963. His career was intertwined with celebrities almost from its beginning. In 1965, he entered private practice and soon opened his own firm, Cochran, Atkins & Evans. His current practice, The Cochran Firm, was established in 1981 and has offices in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Cochran is survived by his wife, Dale Mason; two daughters, Melodie Cochran and Tiffany Edwards; a son, Jonathan; and father, Johnnie L. Cochran Sr.

Tom Dillon (1918 – 2005), longtime President of The Actors’ Fund of America (1989 – 2004) and a veteran performer in all venues of show business. Born in Brooklyn where he remained a resident throughout his life, Dillon won acclaim as an Irish tenor from his first performance at the age of 18 as a boy soprano on WNYC radio. He served in the U. S. Armed Forces during World War II and became one of the stars in the Moss Hart classic “Winged Victory,” which featured servicemen from all branches, on Broadway. He toured with the iconic show throughout America and starred in the celebrated film, raising funds for the Army Emergency Relief Fund. Dillon’s almost 70 years in show business took him to performances in stock and on the Broadway stage in “Ziegfeld Follies” and “The Wonderful World of Burlesque.” Entering the new field of television, he was a featured performer in the popular Milton Berle, Victor Borge, Perry Como, Imogene Coca, Kate Smith and Martha Raye shows. He was seen in such films as “Slaughterhouse Five,” “The Two Mrs. Grenvilles,” “Anastasia” and “Family Business.” Dillon also partnered with vaudeville headliner Bert Wheeler for l3 years in a musical comedy act that appeared in places from “The Ed Sullivan Show” to the White House. Dillon is survived by his wife of 61 years, the former Alice Parker.

Bobby Short (1924 – 2005), a cabaret singer whose career stretched over more than 70 years. In 2003, he celebrated his 35th anniversary at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan. Short played the White House for presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Clinton, was nominated for a Grammy in 2000 for "You're the Top: Love Songs of Cole Porter" and he was nominated in 1993 for "Late Night at the Cafe Carlyle." He appeared in the movies "Hannah and Her Sisters" and "Splash," along with the television miniseries "Roots" and the program "In The Heat of the Night."

By age 9, the self-taught pianist was performing in saloons around his Danville, Illinois, home. Within two years, Short graduated to playing Chicago under his nickname, the "Miniature King of Swing." He played the vaudeville circuit and even teamed with Louis Armstrong on one date. By age 12, he was headlining Manhattan nightclubs and regular engagements at the Apollo Theater and by 1948, he had a regular gig at a tony Los Angeles club, the Cafe Gala.

Short’s success overseas led to an album for Atlantic Records. In 1968 he played an extraordinary concert featuring singer Mabel Mercer in Manhattan's Town Hall; their live album became a success. He signed a deal with the Cafe Carlyle in the same year: six nights a week, eight months a year at the lounge inside the posh East 76th Street hotel. Short is survived by his adopted son Ronald Bell and brother Reginald Short.

Don Rose (1935 – 2005), a legendary Bay Area broadcaster. From late 1973 until 1988, Rose ruled the morning roost at KFRC/San Francisco.
