Welcome to Michigan. We are The International Local representing SAG-AFTRA members in Detroit, all of Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario — home of the Great Lakes, the automobile and, of course, Motown.
We have a strong history of sound recordings, commercials, motion pictures, industrial films and technology. We invite you to explore these pages for all the great services and benefits available to you, and hope you will become involved to strengthen your union and make it work for you.
