The Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers postponed the renewal of their contract discussions after SAG President Alan Rosenberg notified the actors' union Monday that he intends to file a lawsuit seeking to reinstate Doug Allen as SAG's chief negotiator. The lawsuit would also seek an injunction to block the new negotiating team, put in place after the union's board fired Allen last month, from moving forward with contract talks, the newspaper says. While it's unlikely the legal tactic would succeed, it might delay negotiations by one week, citing people close to the negotiations.
