The Screen Actors Guild called a lawsuit filed by a group that opposes a SAG merger with AFTRA a "publicity stunt" and its claims "preposterous" on Wednesday — the same day the lawsuit was filed in federal court in Los Angeles.
"We are confident that our actions are appropriate and consistent with the law and our own rules of procuedure," the union said in a written statement.
The lawsuit claims SAG has been dishonest about the effects of the proposed merger and is witholding information. It asks a federal judge to put a halt to a vote, scheduled for next month.
