SAG-AFTRA

SAG-AFTRA is a major American labor union formed in 2012 from the merger of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. It represents over 160,000 professionals in film, television, radio, and digital media, including actors, singers, voice actors, models, journalists, and DJs. The union negotiates and enforces collective bargaining agreements to ensure fair compensation, benefits, and working conditions for its members. SAG-AFTRA also protects intellectual property rights, ensuring members are compensated for their recorded performances. With offices in key U.S. cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Atlanta, it provides labor advocacy, legal protection, and workplace safety guidelines. Additionally, SAG-AFTRA administers the SAG Awards, which recognize outstanding performances in film and television, and offers membership benefits such as health insurance and pension plans. The union is committed to expanding work opportunities and safeguarding members' rights in the evolving media landscape.
