union shoot in San Francisco, crew members struck and  were joined by star Sarah Polley (qv), who walked the picket line.  Striking crew members report that they were quite touched by her  action, which was more than a gesture, but rather a sincere belief  in workers rights. On her part, Polley called her union, the Screen  Actors Guild, to tell her of her action, and the union  representative told her theyd back her if she crossed the picket  line. SAG assumed that she was calling to ask whether she could defy  the strike and cross the picket line! A shocked and dismayed Polley  stayed out with the strikers, and the strike ended after three days  when their grievances were met. Subsequently, Polley has stated that  she has been told that she lost several job offers due to this  incident as producers dont want a union militant despite the film  industry being a craft industry dominated by the guild (union)  system and she did what she felt was right.
