2021 Network Code Committee Reports & General W&W

SAG-AFTRA will be conducting a combination of national and local Wages & Working Conditions (“W&W”) meetings in preparation for the 2021 SAG-AFTRA Network Television Code (“Network Code”) Contract Negotiations. The Network Code is the agreement covering non-dramatic programs, daytime serials, variety, quiz, game, reality, talk, news, sports programs and promotional announcements and it expires on June 30, 2021.

In order for you to be as informed as possible when participating in this important process, SAG-AFTRA is hosting a presentation, The Landscape of the Network Code on March 3. Please join us to learn how the industry is changing and the impact those changes are having on our membership. This presentation will help you understand the current state of the industry under which SAG-AFTRA will be negotiating the Network Code. Check your local events page or email for specific subjects, dates and times.
