From Times Wire Reports

The Screen Actors Guild, in the midst of a strike over pay for actors in radio and television ads, is quarreling with George W. Bush’s campaign over its use of nonunion actors in at least one commercial. Scores of SAG members picketed for three hours Saturday outside a residence in Brooklyn that the Bush campaign rented to tape a campaign spot. Union officials said the Bush campaign broke a promise not to use nonunion actors in its ads--or to at least seek a waiver from the union stipulating the campaign would pay the wages and residuals for which union members are striking.
