Message Delivered At RealScreen Summit

Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012:  Today, we distributed this message to attendees at the RealScreen Summit.

We think it is time for this industry to treat creative professionals with the dignity and respect that they deserve.

Offering health care and paying people for all hours worked, including overtime after 40 hours, would be a great way to begin.

Stop Wage Theft

We are launching a new website to help ensure that overtime and other applicable employment law is followed in our industry.  Employees may be entitled to back pay as far back as six years.  Check out http://www.nonfictiontvwagewatch.org for details.

Health Care

We are also working to bring much needed health care solutions to employees who have gone too long without. Through collective bargaining, employers and employees have more options to make that a reality. LION TV, OPTOMEN, ITV STUDIOS and ATLAS MEDIA can and should do that right now. If you have not signed the health care petition yet, please click here and do so now.
