What is , you ask? Aren't auditions just opportunities or job interviews?

Here's what our current union contract says:

"If the performer is given employment in the picture, he shall not be entitled to compensation for auditions or tests... if the performer is not given employment in the picture, the performer shall receive 1/2 day of pay."

If we were paid to audition as we should be, there would be middle-class actors.

The Audition Pay provision can be found in SAG-AFTRA's TV/ Theatrical CBA, Schedule A 15 (B): 15. AUDITIONS, TESTS A. If the performer is given employment in the picture, he shall not be entitled to compensation for auditions or tests unless required to wait more than one (1) hour between the time of the call for such purpose and the commencement thereof; if required to wait more than one (1) hour, the performer shall receive compensation for excess waiting time, at straight time, in one-half (1/2) hour units. B. If the performer is not given employment in the picture, the performer shall receive one-half (1/2) day of pay. www.AuditionsAreWork.org

has real skin in the financial effects of the and . The last writer's strike cost the state of $2 billion, and the budget already accounted for a $31 billion deficit due to changes in tech, another big Golden State industry.

If he does, I hope he'll ensure is remunerated as specified in our existing contract.
