Dallas-Fort Worth

What is SAG-AFTRA all about? What does the union mean to me and my career? SAG-AFTRA invites you to join their expert staff — from the Broadcast and EEO & Diversity departments — during their office hours at #NAHJ19 in San Antonio. Applying for a job at a union station? Moving to a different market? Wondering about getting an agent? Have questions about your personal service contract? Show up during office hours to ask employment-related questions as well as questions about any aspect of the business no matter what market you are in or what stage of career you find yourself.

The office hours will take place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel during NAHJ’s 2019 national convention at EIJ. You must be registered for the convention to participate in office hours.

RSVP: Reservations are required. Please complete form below to RSVP.

This meeting is only open to paid-up SAG-AFTRA members in good standing — no guests are allowed. Parents/guardians of performers under 18 years old are welcome. No RSVP necessary; participation is limited only by fire department regulations. SAG-AFTRA members, please bring your membership card or card on your app for admittance.

We unequivocally condemn workplace harassment in all its forms, including sexual harassment. We are committed to finding solutions to ensure a safe work environment for our members.

When performers’ work involves nudity, sexually explicit performance or close physical contact — hyper-exposed work — you are uniquely vulnerable and special care must be taken to ensure you are respected and that the integrity of the work is maintained.

SAG-AFTRA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement with the AMPTP, anchored in the requirement of informed consent, already contains explicit terms that specify the way hyper-exposed work is to be conducted and must be strictly followed. But in order to have SAG-AFTRA contracts reflect the reality you face and meet the needs of those of you who do this work, this special national caucus meeting has been established to hear directly from you during this wages & working conditions process.

Join us in a safe space for this informative session that will include co-facilitators from your EEO & Diversity staff in New York and Los Angeles with expert backgrounds in this industry and these sensitive areas in particular. Join your fellow members so we can hear from you ahead of our upcoming negotiations as we look to realize the larger goals of positively shifting the culture in our industry, supporting and upholding your fundamental right to be safe in your person, and work with integrity by being treated with dignity and respect.
