No Heroes.

Today is Thanksgiving. I worked on "Show Me a Hero" SAG background Friday and Saturday 11/07-11/08. The shoot was more than 16 hours, which quifies for golden time. The production company sleazed us all out of 15 minutes by lying about lunch, which was 5:48-6:05PM saying it was 6:30-6PM and a false NDB an hour afterwards 9:30-9:45AM while I was still in wardrobe. My check $367.00 which I still don't have because Sessions Payroll mailed it a week later to the wrong address. It should be over $2,000. Sessions not only promised and then lied about making special exceptions to reissue, they finally came clean Tuesday when I called begging for it. After waiting 3 days for PM mail, and even going to my old address in case I could catch, I learned that Sessions promise of reissue on Friday was false (we only cut checks once a week) and the reissue was now scheduled for Wednesday, yesterday, the day before Thanksgiving. No money for almost 3 weeks, No Thanksgiving, and certainly, no heroes.
