Want to know more about I Can't Believe SAG's Going to Strike?

The L.A. labor lawyer Jonathan Handel was one of the most reliable, fair-minded and quotable sources during the Writers Guild of America strike. Of course, he was also pro-strike ... up to a point. Mostly he was pro-labor and my feeling was that if the WGA leadership had tried pushing their luck, he wouldn't have hesitated to tell them to stop being selfish and stupid.

Which is exactly what he's been doing in his criticism of the Screen Actors Guild leadership as they push needlessly, senselessly, what-are-you-thinking-ly toward shutting down Hollywood for a second time in two years. While few people actually expect that to happen, especially with actors starting to push back against their own union, Jonathan's insights and analysis are always worth hearing. And guess what? You can hear them this afternoon for yourself, unfiltered. He's leading an investors' conference call on the SAG situation, and you're welcome to listen in. Info's below.

Here's Jonathan's email:
