SAG-AFTRA Podcast: "How the New Commercials Contracts Change the Game"

In May, SAG-AFTRA members nationwide overwhelmingly ratified the 2019 Commercials Contracts, but what does the new agreement promise, and in what ways has it adapted to the rapidly changing advertising industry?

SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris and National Executive Director David White take part in an in-depth discussion about the new Commercials Contracts in this episode of the podcast. Joining them are Chief Contracts Officer Ray Rodriguez; Executive Director, Commercials and Corporate/Educational & Non-Broadcast Contracts Lori Hunt; and member and commercial performer Kathy Keane. Together, the group provides an overview of the ways advertising continues to evolve globally, gives insight into the steps the union took to prepare for negotiations, and discusses the impact the agreements’ newest features will have for members.
