SAG-AFTRA and IATSE present A Virtual Town Hall with U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff

I know I have folks that are in the film industry who read my blog. I came across this today. I work in the industry and I am really sitting not he edge of my seat to see what is the plan with our business in the future.



Join hosts SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris and IATSE International President Matt Loeb for an engaging virtual town hall discussion with California Congressman Adam Schiff, Hollywood’s representative in Congress. Schiff was one of the congressional leaders who championed CARES Act relief for freelance and contract workers, who make up a large portion of the entertainment industry. At this critical juncture in our nation’s history, SAG-AFTRA and IATSE will join Congressman Schiff at a virtual town hall to discuss the impact of COVID-19, future relief efforts and getting the entertainment and media industry back to work. Schiff is currently serving his 10th term as a congressman from California, having been in office since 2001. He looks forward to hearing directly from IATSE and SAG-AFTRA members about their concerns regarding the pandemic and its impact on their day-to-day lives and economic future. For the latest COVID-19 information and resources, visit the SAG-AFTRA COVID-19 hub (sagaftra.org/covid-19) and the IATSE COVID-19 hub (iatsecares.org/resources).

MLB owners agree to play Baseball in July.


From NBC NEWS
Major League Baseball owners gave the go-ahead Monday to making a proposal to the players’ union that could lead to the coronavirus-delayed season starting around the Fourth of July weekend in ballparks without fans, a plan that envisioned expanding the designated hitter to the National League for 2020.

Spring training could start in early to mid-June, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the plan were not announced.

MLB officials are slated to make a presentation to the union on Tuesday. An agreement with the players' association is needed, and talks are expected to be difficult — especially over a proposal for a revenue split that would be unprecedented for baseball.

“Bear with me, but it feels like we’ve zoomed past the most important aspect of any MLB restart plan: health protections for players, families, staff, stadium workers and the workforce it would require to resume a season," Washington pitcher Sean Doolittle tweeted. “What’s the plan to ethically acquire enough tests? ... What’s the protocol if a player, staff member, or worker contracts the virus?”

Each team would play about 82 regular-season games: against opponents in its own division plus interleague matchups limited to AL East vs. NL East, AL Central vs. NL Central and AL West vs. NL West.

I really don't know how any of this is going to work especially with players contracts, testing, travel, etc. Who's to say MLBPA allows it?
