Screen Actors Guild v. Goldade Productions Inc.

United States District Court for the Central District of California
2014 WL 3557320 (2014)

Facts

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) (plaintiff) was a union that, at the time, represented nearly 165,000 media artists. Goldade Productions Inc. (defendant) was a production company that sought to produce a film using SAG members. SAG and Goldade entered into an agreement whereby Goldade agreed to a limited release of the film to certain markets and availed itself to the terms of SAG’s collective-bargaining agreement compelling arbitration. Goldade eventually released the film to additional markets in violation of its agreement with SAG. Consequently, SAG submitted a claim and demand for arbitration. Goldade declined to appear at the arbitration in-person or electronically. As a result, the arbitrator awarded damages to SAG, which Goldade refused to pay. Consequently, SAG filed a suit in federal court, seeking confirmation of the arbitrator’s award and an additional award of late payments as well as attorney’s fees.
