in the race for president of the 160,000-member union. “We have the largest local, half the union’s members,” Richardson said in her campaign statement. “Our building, doubling as national headquarters and our home, now a construction site rented at $6,000,000 a year, is inadequate for our needs. We still have to rent other spaces for any large meetings. Thanks to Membership First, LA holds the only board meetings open to members. We fight for transparency in all matters.
Jolliffe said in his statement: “It’s been my honor to serve you as your Los Angeles 2nd vice president. But, also, it’s been extremely frustrating! We are a minority in the boardroom – so it’s almost impossible to make the changes you need. Our residuals are plummeting. We’re paying $6 million a year to rent our LA headquarters. The SAG-AFTRA staff — paid with your dues — has a pension plan far superior to ours. Once more, I’m asking for your vote to fight the good fight.
