In March, New York Local Executive Director Jeffrey Bennett and Associate General Counsel Justin Touretz met with representatives of professional and trade unions from Kazakhstan who were visiting the United States to learn about the relationship between labor unions, private business and the U.S. government. The visitors asked about the ways SAG-AFTRA protects its members’ rights and advocates on their behalf.
