Sony Cyber Attack Delay Actor's Residuals Checks

This article is about the recent Cyber attacks on the Sony company and how exactly it's still affecting the lives of actors today. The studio has told SAG-AFTRA, (Screen Actors Guild) which is a union that most actors are apart of, that the member's residual checks will be delayed in an estimated time of 3 months. This is due to the fact that Sony Pictures computer systems were hacked. Residuals were said to be delayed by one quarter, meaning fourth quarter 2014 residuals and first quarter 2015 residuals will most likely not be posted for members online SAG for the residual tracker until after June in 2015. I chose this article because i was surprised to hear that the Sony hack is still a big concern in the industry because it continues to affect the lives of others. This is important/affects me as a filmmaker because it's important to understand how business works between companies like Sony and unions like SAG work together. As a student it's important to learn about unions, such as SAG-AFTRA, which is full of members who are actors. This union has certain conditions that its members must work in otherwise who ever is using the actors can in fact be sued. Lastly as a consumer, this affects me because actors aren't getting paid meaning they will be exposed to more work and we will have an opportunity to see them act more in films. Questions can rise up from situations like this such as, Are others being affected by the Sony Cyber attack (directors, Producers, etc)? If so, how? Will actors be in fact exposed to more work? Will SAG-AFTRA and Sony Pictures continue to collaborate with each other.
