Fran Drescher has come a long way since playing the 'flashy girl from Flushing' on The Nanny.
“@Officialfrandrescher I’m curious for people like me who have worked since they were 10 and paid dues to @sagaftra how when we aren’t able to work for health reasons why our union abandons us,” Doherty,in 2020, wrote via Instagram in March 2023. “I think we can do better for all our members and I think you’re [the] person to do it.”
Doherty continued at the time: “Health insurance shouldn’t be based on annual income. It’s a lifetime contribution. And for me and many others, we have paid a lifetime of dues to only be canceled because we don’t meet your current criteria. Not OK.”after failing to reach an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers during contract negotiations.
“This is a very seminal hour for us. I went in thinking that we would be able to avert a strike. The gravity of this move is not lost on me,” Drescher said in a press conference at the time. “It’s a very serious thing that impacts thousands, if not millions of people all across this country and around the world. Not only members of this union but people who work in other industries that service the people that work in this industry. … We had no choice. We are the victims here.
Drescher and her fellow union members were fighting over fair wages, especially in regard to residual paychecks, the use of artificial intelligence in media and more issues.
