Heath Steinbeck prevailed in successive arbitrations brought by the Screen Actors Guild against its clients, a film production company and an affiliate distributor. SAG sought awards of $250,000 and $350,000, respectively, alleging that the clients owed, in connection with two motion pictures, ‘step-up’ compensation and residuals under SAG’s collective bargaining agreement. Following contested hearings and the submission of closing briefs, the arbitrator entered successive written rulings which adopted all of the arguments advanced by Heath Steinbeck, dismissed all of SAG’s claims, and ruled that SAG was not entitled to any recovery from our clients.
