The SAG-AFTRA president went on a weekend trip to Italy to participate in a Dolce & Gabbana promotional event amid union contract talks.
SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher has come in for criticism at a tense moment in the union’s contract talks with the major studios after she took a weekend trip to Italy to participate in a Dolce & Gabbana promotional event.
Unlike other elected union presidents, Drescher also serves as chair of SAG-AFTRA’s contract negotiating committee. She’s worked closely with Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s national executive director and chief negotiator, on plotting the agenda and demands at a time when entertainment industry economics are shifting fast.
“President Drescher is working as a brand ambassador for Dolce and Gabbana on location in Italy. This was a commitment fully known to the negotiating committee. She has been in negotiations every day either in person or via videoconference. President Drescher is managing a physically demanding schedule across three time zones, overseeing negotiations and working on location daily as well as managing her parents’ needs in [Florida]. She is returning to the States and will be on the ground in L.A.
