As a member, I found this out inadvertently a couple of weeks ago when I received a &#8220;WGAW PAC Donation Form&#8221; along with my normal quarterly guild dues mailing. The guild sends out a regular mailer to all current members for them to record their recent work for dues purposes. [Isn&#8217;t attaching a solicitation for a PAC to a regular union mailing illegal under federal law?-ed. I&#8217;m not sure but it certainly doesn&#8217;t pass the smell test. Maybe some readers will know.]]]>Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:41:45 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
