The Screen Actors Guild turned down as offer from Hollywood studios on Thursday, but said it would present a counterproposal, reports the AP. Doug Allen, SAG's executive director and chief
negotiator, called the $250 million studio offer "highly inflated," claiming that proposed raises to actors' minimum wages would not benefit the higher-paid actors. SAG, the largest actors union,
represents 120,000 actors in movies, TV and other media. AFTRA, a smaller union with 70,000 members, has OK'd a approved a three-year deal for a handful of prime-time TV shows, including "Rules of
Engagement" and HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
