AmDazed brings up a good point, when a performer is also a producer. It is a performers union, and the union should ALWAYS side with the performer on any issue, like who pays for tests, and what safety measures should be used on set. The union can’t have it both ways and try to protect the “Indutry”. They should protect the performers, and if that means the producers have to pay up, so be it. In my opinion, the union is doing a great disservice by trying to find insurance companies to pay for tests. Aside from the fact that NO INSURANCE COMPANY IS EVER>EVER>ERVER going to pay for a battery of std tests twice a month, it is the PRODUCERS legal responsibility to pay, and THAT is what the union should be pushing with full force…..Any real union would not allow its members to work for any company that violated the law, and violated its members in such a way. That is a no brainer. PS, Condoms are the law right now, always have been. How can a Union allow its members to work for any company that violates the laws meant to protect performers?

Regarding your Rule #1, in order to follow it wouldn’t the union have to dissolve it’s DIRECTORS & PRODUCERS chapter? I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again, I think the union covers too many areas. However, since most performers who will have long term careers in the adult industry will be producers and/or directors at some point, it may be appropriate for them to stay.

Jilted, I didn’t intend that as “rest in pieces” but as “rest in peace”. I apologize for the misunderstanding. If I am missing the joke it is because I have a dog and three cats myself and would be pissed off (and certainly not laughing about it) if I found all but one of their legs missing and the leg that I was able to locate sitting on my car some morning. If someone has a problem with another person it certainly should not be taken out on the family dog, that is for sure.

A little hurt can be a good thing every now and then. Give and take. Don’t take my criticism as blind repudiation, take it as a challenge. As Bill Margold says, getting the industry together is like herding cats. Unionizing or creating a guild is the closest thing to impossible to do in this industry,,,close, but NOT impossible, if you don’t put the cart in front of the horse. Its a war, pick your battles, small ones at first, win them, and build on them, while at the same time setting the table(battle field) for the big encounters. Set a simple goal, accomplish it. Set another simple goal, accomplish it. You can’t hit a grand slam until you have the bases loaded. In basketball a team scores 100 points, but they do it 2 points at a time. Thats how a union is built, not by demands, but by showing victories.
And please dont take my criticism personally either. FACT, you have already gotten further than anyone else ever has in this endevor. BUT, you are the leader, the face of the Union, and you’ll need some pretty thick skin to take this all the way to where it could ultimately go. This is big league politics, big, big league. You don’t get into the big leagues without spending time in the minors, with good coaches. And you don’t stay in the big leagues unless you show a winning record. AHF, OSHA, Dept. of Justice, will use you, chew you up, and spit you out if you’re not prepared. I listened to those tapes, and this is from my heart, you aren’t prepared,,,,,,yet. Mike has my info

I didn’t mean to lash out at you personally at all. I just a little hurt. And I did not mean to take it out on you. Please except my apology.

As Bill Margold says:

Take care, and care take.

everybody on this page has known who I am for years. My real name has been used dozens of times on this page. Members of your own union have known I participate on this page under this name for years. I didnt threaten anyone’s dog,,,I FOUND MY DOGS leg on the hood of MY car, they did this to me to discourage my efforts to unionize workers;

And I dont have an issue with YOU,,,I have an issue with the road you are taking this union down, The road you’re on now is a dead end. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of basic priorities for any union. You need to check your ego, and fast. Consider this my first gift of free advice. You want to get real and discuss real topics, Mike has my info.

And I am no saint. The secrets I have kept to protect this industry make me no saint. Every hear the saying,,Knowing where the bodies are buried,,I do, I’m the one who buried them.

I have no intention of joining your union. I do not work in the field. If you want some real help, and I have always said I would be willing to give it, you can get my contact info from Mike. But you can check the holier than thow attitude at the door. This isnt about YOU or ME, its about whats better for performers, not the industry, performers. Rule #1, the union should not give a flying fuck what producers say about anyfuckingthing. Unions-us,,procuders-them,,,,this is us vs. them

Ok. Now you know. I got to just ask….. Soooo. “What are you going to do about it?” Set there and wine, saying who is a better person then who? Or. step back up to the plate and use your skills and knowledge of this industry to help better the lives of the ones who come after us? Since you are such a saint. Prove it. And my dog already has three legs so good luck with that one!!!!!! Join now! http://Www.entertainmentadultunion.com. (Click on the join free button 😉
Everyone seems braver when they hide behind a user name that doesn’t tell who they are. I’m Phyllisha fucking Anne. Amanda Gullesserian. You got an issue with me and what I am trying to do the. stop hiding behind a stupid user name and at least have the balls to say who you are.

And no one should go as low as to threaten someone’s dog. Seriously? That’s just pathetic. Bring it. I’ll even give you my address.
