Pisano never should have been SAG NED(National Executive Director) in the first place and just how did that happen? I believe it happened because he was installed by a SAG boardroom faction controlled by Pisano's cronies. This faction is unaccountable to the SAG membership as a whole and does not represent our interests but on the contrary is bought and paid for to enrich the Pisanos of the world at the expense of the middle class. Instead, of doing anything productive to make the pie bigger for everyone like a legitimate entrepreneur/executive, Pisano and his ilk have used fraud, artifice and varied illegal means to cheat SAG members out of present and future opportunities and income. The lesson here is that SAG members should directly appoint the NED rather than leave it up to a producer controlled boardroom faction. This whole situation is a textbook example of union executives illegally colluding with management and lining their pockets at the working actors' expense. Pisano's refusal to abolish the voucher system(a form of labor racketeering that cheats SAG members out of work); start a casting resource center; implement an effective SAG controlled commercials monitoring system; correct the huge # of residuals underpayments; hire more field reps to enforce contracts is more than enough reason for every SAG member to sue him for everything he's got. He should not only be replaced without asking his permission but also held accountable in civil and criminal court. The millions that he pocketed from our dues money and his Netflix stock sale should be awarded back to us plus damages. This clown is a disgrace to any honest union leader, executive or entrepreneur.
