As rival parties Unite for Strength and Membership First vie for control ahead of the election tally Sept. 2, whoever wins will face challenges on issues like health care as well as whether the union should pursue stronger ties to the larger labor movement.
Despite the candidates’ differences in background — Drescher is arguing she will bring fresh ideas and political know-how to the table, while Membership First is declaring that experience in internal politics will serve Modine well — both parties are talking up their focus on health care, the TV/theatrical agreement, member education, diversity and safety from sexual harassment.
For his part, Modine says, “I am running to ensure that our members continue to participate financially in the success of the content that we help to create. It is essential that we intelligently prepare and anticipate changes in the ever evolving landscape of our industry.” On their party platforms, both groups say they ultimately want to bolster contract enforcement and grow residuals. Unite for Strength stresses in part its wish to raise pay rates, especially for lower-budget new media, while Membership First says it will work to end what it calls “pre-paid residual” contracts, which it says “hide future potential earnings in the members’ original fee” or effectively buy out future residuals in an initial payment, and transform streaming residual calculations.
Top candidates are pledging to look far and wide to bring further coverage to members: Drescher cites current resources that may help union members struggling with health care, including the new AFL-CIO Medicare Advantage plan for Medicare-eligible union members and spouses and Congress’ subsidization of COBRA under The American Rescue Plan Act until the end of September.

Georgia board to tap election review panel for Fulton CountyThe Georgia State Board of Elections plans to appoint a review panel this week as part of a process that could lead to a takeover of elections in the state's most populous county under a provision in the state's sweeping new election law. Republican lawmakers cited the new law when they asked the state board last month to appoint the performance review board to investigate Fulton County's handling of elections. Former President Donald Trump fixated on the county after his narrow loss last year in Georgia, pushing unfounded claims of fraud as evidence the election was stolen from him.
