Just as unity and solidarity among our members is the ultimate source of our power as a union, standing together with our sister unions multiplies our power and gives us all the strongest position to ensure our large corporate employers step up and treat fairly and justly the people who are the creative source of the industry’s success. SAG-AFTRA’s National Board has adopted a resolution of strong support for the Writers Guild of America in their negotiations with the AMPTP. If the WGA finds it necessary to strike in order to achieve a fair deal for their members, although SAG-AFTRA cannot presently go on strike with them, we will be there to support and stand beside them.
We know you likely have questions surrounding the details of the potential strike that was recently approved by the WGA membership, and how SAG-AFTRA members can support the WGA membership. To address some common questions, we’ve put together a list of answers here. We continue to hope that the AMPTP will step up and make a fair deal with the WGA and avoid the necessity of a strike. If a strike does occur, it will be a dynamic situation and we will continue to update these FAQs and provide you with additional information.
Please use this for guidance in the coming days.
Standing together,
Fran, President
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator
