We’re proud to offer the new Corporate/Educational & Non-Broadcast waiver. The waiver is a new organizing tool available within the Washington Mid-Atlantic Local that empowers professional performers by providing producers with flexible hiring, faster production, simplified rates, and easier payments. 

Staff and members have been hard at work promoting and explaining the details of the waiver via email, mailing postcards to hundreds of producers and making phone calls and personal visits to casting professionals, pay services and interested producers. The postcard also refers to sagaftra.org/WMA, where more information can be found. We have also been distributing the information via industry resources such as the Actors Center, WIFV, TIVA and others.

But we still need your help to make this effort succeed. Submit yourselves for corporate video work that is advertised as non-union. Market yourselves and the availability of the waiver widely to producers in the Washington-Mid Atlantic Local. And, finally, share your success stories with us by sending information about the jobs you win (including your production report) to WMAWaiver@sagaftra.org so that we can track the value of the waiver.

Please note that the waiver is experimental and is effective until April 30, 2018, at which time the Local Board and National Contract Standing Committee will review the results and consider an extension.  

If you would like more information or would like to volunteer to assist in our promotional efforts, please contact WMAWaiver@sagaftra.org, and congratulations in advance on your next role!
