SAG-AFTRA's National Convention boldly went where it has never gone before: into cyberspace with an all-virtual event, Oct. 15–18. Fittingly, the theme was “Virtual, Vital, Visionary,” bringing elected convention delegates together from our 25 locals for a forum to shape the union and elect its top officers. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler served as the keynote speaker.
The L.A. Local elected 169 delegates, who had the opportunity to propose resolutions and the following is a list of those resolutions:
