Important Message from the MEAA

I think the "contractor" agreement, while something I would discourage anyone take on, is the way of the world in 2007. It's happening in every industry not just the Arts. And in all honesty the MEAA really has no teeth any more. I am refering to the "attempt" the MEAA made to extract money from the now defunct WA Barron Television for actor payments for The Adventures of Chuck Finn. We were all on industry contracts and still got screwed. What did the MEAA do? SWEET BUGGER ALL!! Barron was wound up and we are still waiting for our money. I ask you all - what's the point of them? Why bother when all they do is take dues and can offer no real saftey net.
