The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Tv set and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA, stylized as SAG·AFTRA ) is an American labor union representing approximately 160,000 film and television actors, journalists, radio personalities, recording artists, singers, voice actors, cyberspace influencers, fashion models, and other media professionals worldwide. The organisation was formed on March thirty, 2012, following the merger of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG, created in 1933) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA, created in 1937 every bit the American Federation of Radio Artists, gaining a 'T' in 1952 afterward its merger with the Television Authority).[5] SAG-AFTRA is a member of the AFL–CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States.[6]

History [edit]

SAG-AFTRA Plaza in Los Angeles, California, headquarters to SAG-AFTRA

As of January 2013, Variety reported that the merger had proceeded with "few bumps", amid shows of good volition on both sides. The stickiest remaining problem was reported to be the merger of the ii pension funds, in part as a style of dealing with the issue of performers who paid into each plan, nevertheless did not quite earn enough nether either of the former plans to qualify for a alimony.[seven]

Ken Howard was the commencement president of the merged union.[eight] Upon his death he was succeeded by Gabrielle Carteris.[9] On September 2, 2021, Fran Drescher of the Unite for Strength faction was elected president.[4]

SAG-AFTRA is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and in New York City in addition to other local offices nationwide.[ane]

Limerick [edit]

SAG-AFTRA has a diverse membership consisting of actors, announcers, circulate journalists, dancers, disc jockeys, news writers, news editors, program hosts, puppeteers, recording artists, singers, stunt performers, voiceover artists, and other media professionals.

Membership in SAG-AFTRA is considered a rite of passage for new performers and media professionals. It is often procured after getting hired for their start task in a studio that has a commonage bargaining understanding with the union.[10] SAG-AFTRA work is considered to be substantially more prestigious than non-union jobs. Due to the size and influence of the union, about major media firms have a collective bargaining agreement with SAG-AFTRA through the Association of Movement Moving-picture show and Television Producers. Studios that take signed a collective bargaining agreement with SAG-AFTRA are not closed shops, but are by and large required to requite preference to union members first when hiring.

Nearly all professional actors and media professionals working for medium or big-calibration American media firms are expected to be unionized. Equally a effect, SAG-AFTRA has many members who are consistently out of work, uncommon for a union, just cogitating of how work is procured in the industry. Co-ordinate to SAG-AFTRA'due south Department of Labor records since its founding, around 34%, or a third, of the union's total membership accept consistently been considered "withdrawn," "suspended," or otherwise not categorized every bit "active" members. These members are ineligible to vote in the union.[eleven] "Honorable withdrawals" constitute the largest portion of these, at 20% of the full membership, or 46,934 members. "Suspended payment" members are the second largest, at 14%, or 33,422 members.[3] This classification scheme is continued from the Screen Actors Gild,[12] rather than the scheme used by AFTRA.[13]

Factions [edit]

The spousal relationship is perceived as having two factions. The larger faction ("United for Strength") says it is focused on creating chore opportunities for members. A 2nd faction ("Membership Outset") has criticized the electric current assistants for being too quick and soft when it comes to negotiations with studios.[xiv]

Membership Outset [edit]

Unite for Forcefulness [edit]

"Global Rule 1" is the foundation for SAG-AFTRA's unity as a union. Information technology essentially states that members may non perform in whatever course of media that is non being done nether SAG-AFTRA or affiliated unions' jurisdictions.

The exception to this dominion is for members who choose to exist "SAG-AFTRA Core", allowing such members to perform exterior of SAG-AFTRA and its affiliated unions' jurisdictions, but it is questionable as to the wisdom of opting to get SAG-AFTRA Core.

Major strikes and boycotts [edit]

Global Dominion One [edit]

Under Global Rule 1, no SAG-AFTRA members are immune to work for whatsoever producer who has not executed a minimum basic agreement with the union that is in full force and upshot. This rule applies worldwide.[15]

Do not work orders are formally issued to announce productions that take not entered into the required agreements.[16]

2016–17 strike [edit]

After nearly a year and a half of negotiations, SAG-AFTRA issued a strike on Oct 21, 2016, against xi American video game developers and publishers, including Activision, Electronic Arts, Insomniac Games, Take 2 Interactive, and WB Games. The strike resulted from attempted negotiations since February 2015 to replace the previous contract, the Interactive Media Understanding, that expired in belatedly 2014.[17] In that location were four major problems they fought for with this strike: establishing transparency in contract negotiation; preventing vocal stress from long recording sessions; providing condom assurances for stunt coordinators on performance capture sets; and giving payments of residuals based on sales of a video game,[18] which have traditionally not been used in the video game industry. SAG-AFTRA members sought to bring equity for video game actors as in other industries, while the video game companies feared that giving residuals to actors would overshadow the contributions of programmers and artists that contribute to the games. It was the outset such organized strike inside the video game industry and the first vocalisation actors' strike in 17 years, likewise equally the first strike within the merged SAG-AFTRA organization. As of Apr 23, 2017, information technology became the longest strike within SAG, surpassing the 95-twenty-four hours 1980 Emmy Awards strike, and the 2000 commercials strike.[19]

An agreement was reached on September 23, 2017, ending the 340-mean solar day strike.[twenty]

Bartle Bogle Hegarty strike [edit]

On September xx, 2018, SAG called a strike against global advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty over sure waivers for depression-upkeep commercials that BBH added, amidst other provisions. Earlier that month, BBH had withdrawn from their contract with SAG, which was first agreed on in 1999, over contractual terms that stated BBH would not be allowed to hire non-marriage actors, which they believed put them at competitive disadvantage every bit many of their peer agencies were not signatories.[21] [22] [23]

On July 20, 2019, SAG ended its ten-month strike against BBH after the advertizement agency agreed to sign the union's new commercials contract.[24]

Donald Trump ban [edit]

On Feb 7, 2021, SAG-AFTRA announced that former U.S. President Donald Trump, who resigned from the group on February 4, 2021, would be barred from always rejoining due to his attacks on journalists and obstructing the peaceful transfer of power to the next president.[25]

Organizing campaigns [edit]

Telemundo [edit]

On February nine, 2016, NBCUniversal, Telemundo's parent company, faced claims by SAG-AFTRA of operating nether a double standard between its Spanish-linguistic communication and English language-language talent at NBC and Telemundo. In its response, the network released a statement claiming it is "committed to making Telemundo a keen place to work for our employees and will keep to invest in them to ensure their salaries and working conditions are competitive with the balance of the dissemination manufacture in accordance with market size and station revenues."

A few days subsequently February 13, 2016, SAG-AFTRA came back and added that Telemundo had been treating its employees like "2nd-course professionals" given that many actors do non receive basic workplace guarantees that SAG-AFTRA contracts provide, such as fair pay, water breaks, health insurance and residuals. At that time, Telemundo president Luis Silberwasser responded past proverb that SAG-AFTRA asked for recognition of the union as the bargaining agent for employees — rather than seeking a vote past employees. However, SAG-AFTRA claimed that intimidation tactics had been taking place within the network to go along employees from unionizing and that they believe "in that location is no such thing as a 'off-white vote' when workers are afraid for their careers and livelihoods, and live with the fearfulness of retaliation if they are seen as actively wanting to unionize. SAG-AFTRA wants to ensure full protection for workplace republic and performers' rights to choose through a truly off-white process."[26]

In August 2016, Telemundo again found itself upwards against the union when the network refused to air an advertisement placed by SAG-AFTRA detailing the unfair wage gap and lack of benefits Telemundo employees face every bit opposed to unionized performers at NBCUniversal. The ad was set to air during the network's premiere people'south selection awards Premios Tu Mundo but was never placed into rotation. A Telemundo spokesperson responded saying, "After legal review, we have concluded the advertisement did non pass legal standards for issue-based advert." Meanwhile, other Spanish-language networks such as MegaTV and Estrella TV aired the advert nationwide.[27]

SAG-AFTRA continued to stand its ground, stating that "Telemundo's decision to censor 30 seconds of truthful commentary nearly its working weather shows just how averse it is to having a transparent give-and-take about its refusal to fairly compensate Spanish-speaking performers."[27]

In March 2016, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) administered a underground vote amongst 124 Telemundo performers, based on the corporeality of time actors have worked on telenovela dramas and other shows. SAG-AFTRA announced that 81% of eligible voters chose to unionize in a balloting process that began Feb. 7 and lasted four weeks.[28]

Joining the union will allow Telemundo actors, along with singers, dancers and stunt people, to bargain with the network for health insurance, residual payments and other benefits that are routine at English-linguistic communication television networks.[29]
