General Service Agreements: Be Fully Informed Of Your Rights Before You Sign On the Dotted Line!

About To Sign A Contract With Your Agent?
Be Fully Informed Of Your Rights Before You Sign On the Dotted Line!

When: 3-5:30 p.m., Friday, March 4, 2016

Where: SAG-AFTRA – Boardroom
1900 Broadway, 5th Floor
New York, NY 10023
(Between 63rd and 64th Streets)

SAG-AFTRA’s Professional Representatives Department will hold a bi-coastal educational seminar on General Service Agreements or GSAs (i.e. the contracts that some agents have been using to represent our members instead of the standard Legacy SAG and/or Legacy AFTRA agency contracts). These GSA contracts are signed outside of SAG-AFTRA’s protection, and it is imperative that members have a working knowledge of what these contracts say before signing them—your professional future and your income may depend on it. Staff will also take this opportunity to address how these contracts may apply, and discuss what your options are. SAG-AFTRA’s National Director/Sr. Counsel for Professional Representatives, Zino Macaluso, will be in the NY office leading this event. This educational seminar will be especially helpful to any member having trouble making sense of the complicated legal language contained in the GSAs that their agents have provided them.

The event will not be taped, nor will any kind of recording device be permitted. Please bring writing materials or a laptop with you in order to take extensive notes.
