Unite for Strength, SAG-AFTRA’s ruling party, has decided not to challenge the Los Angeles local’s recent election
. But Modine’s running mates trounced Carteris’ team in the L.A. local races, winning the local’s top three posts – president and two vice presidential slots – and 13 of 17 national board seats that were up for grabs. In the national board races, Membership First candidates were the top nine vote-getters. And while Carteris managed to win a seat on the national board, she finished 14th in the balloting.
“While we know that these violations impacted the results of the Los Angeles local elections, we also understand that our first priority is to our members,” Unite for Strength said. It noted, however, that “The hundreds of thousands of dollars and complete displacement of SAG-AFTRA staff’s time right before a major negotiation is too great a price to bear.
According to the Department of Labor, Section 401 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act “provides that no money of an employer is to be contributed or applied to promote the candidacy of any person in an election subject to the provisions of title IV. This includes indirect as well as direct expenditures.
Without such disclosure, however, there is no way of knowing if any employers contributed to the campaigns, although both sides said they do not accept such contributions. On its donation page, Unite for Strength said: “By pressing the donate button, you are attesting this donation is from a personal account, and not made by or on behalf of any employer, production company, or agency interests.”
