SAG-AFTRA has not yet signed on to any specific set of procedures for reopening.
We are completing a set of initial protocols with input from our expert epidemiologists, industrial sanitation specialists, member leaders, and staff, and are working in collaboration with our fellow guilds and unions, and the industry. Our draft report will soon be presented to our member-led Blue Ribbon Commission on Safety and Executive Committee for review, modification and adoption.
While there are multiple efforts throughout the industry to create various procedures for a safer return to work, we are reviewing these on a case-by-case basis. We are working with various employer representative groups to ensure that any such guidelines reflect the concerns of performers and provide appropriate protection for any return to production.
