Jessica Alba’s The Honest Company Can’t Work Out SAG-AFTRA Deal For Union Ad; “No Work Order” Issued
Updated with no deal: Unable to reach an agreement, SAG-AFTRA has ordered its members not to work on a commercial being shot in town this week for The Honest Company, actress Jessica Alba’s line of home products.

To date, neither The Honest Company nor Mother have agreed to sign the Commercials Contract.

More than 70 SAG-AFTRA members rallied tonight at the union’s Los Angeles headquarters to draw attention to the plight of commercial actors. A grassroots organization called UnionWorking says that “upwards of 60% of commercials today are being produced using nonunion talent.” The guild declined to either confirm or deny that figure.
The rally is being held in advance of a meeting tonight that’s part of SAG-AFTRA’s ongoing #AdsGoUnion campaign to “help increase union commercial opportunities.”
“We’re here today to ask the union what they’re doing with celebrity outreach,” said rally organizer Killian McHugh at the event, which just wrapped. The veteran commercial actor, who operates a popular workshop on commercial acting, added: “A-list celebrities are getting millions of dollars for one day’s work, and then the next day the production company turns around and shoots a non-union commercial. We want to know what SAG-aftra is doing about it.

When you go in for a late-afternoon commercial audition, you're likely to be fresh-faced and upbeat about being there. But actors are sometimes oblivious to the fact that the casting director has already been at it for six or seven hours. He or she likely has that not-so-fresh feeling. In fact, the CD could be more tired and annoyed than you realize."Actors have no way of knowing the session was too packed all day and the casting director didn't get a lunch," says Killian McHugh, a CD with Alyson Horn's office in Hollywood, who teaches workshops in commercial audition technique.If the direction you're getting from a casting director isn't of the hand-holding, warm-and-fuzzy variety, chances are good that the CD is having a rough day. That's something you have to be sensitive to if you want to maintain a warm, ongoing relationship with that office."Actors don't know what it's like at 4 p.
