Dear Members,
As most of you know, our union is on strike against ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH). Despite being signed to the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts for almost 20 years, they now claim our union agreement doesn’t apply to them – they want to pick and choose as they please.
They are attempting to abandon the agreement and the performers who have worked with them under this contract for two decades. Our union contract creates a work place standard that is inclusive and equitable for all.
Walking out on working performers is unacceptable and we will not back down.
Thousands of members are making their voices heard around the country. We invite you to join us in NY for an action on Thursday, Nov. 1.
Because this global ad agency says it can no longer pay actors a fair wage or ensure safe working conditions, we’re helping them out with a BBH Bake Sale.
WHEN: 11:30 a.m. ET, Thursday, Nov. 1
MEET US:
@BBH NY
32 6th Ave. New York, NY 10013
Corner 6th Ave. and Walker St. – Tribeca Park
A.C.E. Subway – Canal Street
The first 100 members to arrive will receive a free SAG-AFTRA t-shirt!

Our greatest power is the solidarity of our members. This is where we take a stand. For our union. For our careers. For each other.
If you live outside of New York: Please post one of the tweets/posts below on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Please only use these samples and do not improvise.
Thank you for your support.
Strength in Unity,
Gabrielle Carteris
