To Agents, Managers, Casting Directors, and Producers Regarding Restrictions on Union Campaign Contributions

This statement from the SAG-AFTRA National Election Committee is to inform you of various obligations imposed on you by federal law in connection with the upcoming SAG-AFTRA internal union elections.
