Exactly, and that would be a good reason to have a union.
You know, maybe it's time to petition the real SAG again.
They are totally capable of doing this but have had a standing policy for
years to "not organize pornography".
This policy was in place before 2257 and porn stars with wiki pages; which leaves
a paper trail of performance of legitimate work.
The internet has made porn a little more mainstream than before but SAG probably
still worries about being attacked by the conservative right as "legitimizing porn".
So for SAG it's like "why attract a problem when we're doing just fine without it?"
Also, I bet a ton of actors would vote against it because when they show their
SAG card they don't want people thinking "Actor?? sure buddy, you fuck in porn".
Yeah, so you are right to try for ASAG.
The actor vote killed the merger of AFTRA with SAG every time it was held.
Wow, just did a google. Here we go again :

Everything they are saying now I heard since the late 1980.
If SAG can't get the actors to vote for AFTRA merger then porn has no chance.
Most decent actors are in both unions anyway and they still don't vote to merge.
Your right, it's going to be ASAG or fucking nothing.
