Wow. Just.... just frakking wow. They aren't Actors so much as Slaves with a Contract. No residuals, forced to work extra without pay, and on and on. Dear Lord Jesus.

You know what? After reading that I'm sorry I came down on the Samurai Actors for not being able to act. I'd give a piss-poor performance to if I was being treated like that.

After hearing about all the stuff the original MMPR cast had to agree to in the Amy Jo Johnson podcast, its a little sad to hear things have apparently changed so little for cast members.

Yeah, but this is also a Saban contract. We'd have to compare it to a Disney contract as well.

But, this explains why Ciara was so happy and giddy the first few weeks being in New Zealand and now she tweets with:

Are they Union do we know? Probally not given what Amy had to say, but. If they are why isn't the Guild doing anything?

As far as I know, Power Rangers actors are usually non-Union. Saban would specifically aim to hire non-union actors.

It's sad that the actors and production are pushed to such extremes, especially since this has been the norm since the MMPR days. Nothing much has changed, it seems.

Steven Skyler and Paul Schrier are union. Ciara Hanna and Azim Rizk likely are also.

Steve Cardenas is probably a big player in the "maintaining the image" clause.....after the stuff he did on and off set before and after the show....

You'd think the Union would've seen that contract then and tried doing something about it.
