The W&W process will kick off with a national video conference held simultaneously around the country for a presentation of the Outlook for Scripted Dramatic Live Action Entertainment. This presentation will help the membership understand the current state of the industry under which SAG-AFTRA will be negotiating the TV/Theatrical Agreements, which will expire on June 30, 2020. In addition to this presentation, SAG-AFTRA will be holding local W&W meetings, stakeholder caucus meetings and national W&W videoconference meetings throughout the months of May and June.
