In January, the SAG Board voted overwhelmingly to invite AFTRA to jointly negotiate the 2011 Theatrical and TV Agreement.  This past weekend, the AFTRA Board voted unanimously to accept the invitation. Under the leadership of SAG President Ken Howard and AFTRA President Roberta Reardon, our unions are moving together in a positive direction.  The negotiations will be handled under the same rules that the 2009 Commercial negotiations were successfully conducted.

 

Thanks to your support, and the support of members around the country, Screen Actors Guild and our sister union, AFTRA are once again back on track for cooperation, joint bargaining and Merger.
