SAG-AFTRA Is Also Investigate On Will Smith Regarding The Oscars Incident

[RAMROD 108,790]

If Will Smith is to be disciplined by SAG-AFTRA for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, the union’s constitution spells out in great detail how that disciplinary process will play out. SAG-AFTRA covers performers at the Academy Awards, where Rock was a presenter Sunday night and, as such, deems it a workplace incident subject to disciplinary review.

On Monday, SAG-AFTRA said in a statement: “As the union representing presenters and other performers working on the Oscars, SAG-AFTRA is focused on ensuring our members always work in a safe environment. Violence or physical abuse in the workplace is never appropriate and the union condemns any such conduct. The incident involving Will Smith and Chris Rock at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable. We have been in contact with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC about this incident and will work to ensure this behavior is appropriately addressed.”

The union’s statement concluded by noting that “SAG-AFTRA does not comment on any pending member disciplinary process” – suggesting that the incident is being reviewed for disciplinary action there, as well.

Expulsion is the most serious penalty SAG-AFTRA can impose, but other options include suspension, fines, reprimands and censure. The union has a standing delegation to both its Probable Cause Committee — to determine whether there’s a “probable cause” that the union’s Constitution has been violated — and to its Disciplinary Committee, but only a Disciplinary Committee decision to expel a member would automatically go to the national board, whose next regularly scheduled meeting is April 30.

FYI, SAG-AFTRA is an American labor union which represents film and TV actors, singers, voice actors, influencers, models, journalists, DJ's, and other performers. SAG-AFTRA stands for the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. 

So if Will Smith is getting disciplinary actions by SAG-AFTRA, he will have to say goodbye on getting any jobs from USA's showbiz at large during the duration of it..., or permanently if he was to get expulsion. AKA this is more serious and damaging than whatever Oscars Academy gonna do to Will.

What are they investigating??  Dumb comedian made insensitive joke and got clocked. It's all on footage 

These institutions should take whatever step they want and stop dragging this issue

Did it violate their constitution or not? What is there to investigate? It played out on live TV. 

The last time they took steps to discipline a member was Donald Trump after the insurrection. 

The last time SAG-AFTRA publicly took steps to discipline a member came in early January 2021 when the union’s national board met in special session to consider disciplinary action against former President Donald Trump, a longtime member and former star of The Apprentice.

As first reported by Deadline, the board found “probable cause” that Trump had “violated the union’s Constitution,” and ordered the matter to be heard by SAG-AFTRA’s Disciplinary Committee. The charges cited Trump’s role in inciting the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, and his “sustaining a reckless campaign of misinformation aimed at discrediting and ultimately threatening the safety of journalists, many of whom are SAG-AFTRA members.” Facing possible expulsion, Trump resigned in a huff, making a disciplinary hearing unnecessary.

Like, what kind of authority do they think they have? Trying to put people on trial and **** like anyone gives a ****.  Will should just resign too.
