URGENT: SAG-AFTRA Needs You Tomorrow A Message from Your L.A. President

Dear fellow SAG-AFTRA L.A. members, 

Your union needs your help!

SAG-AFTRA has been hit with a deliberate, broadside assault and our commercials contract is under attack. SAG-AFTRA is holding a strike action and we need YOU there.

Bartle Bogle Hegarty, LLC (BBH) is a global advertising agency owned by Publicis Groupe, one of the largest holding companies in the world. Publicis Groupe owns Saatchi & Saatchi and Leo Burnett, as well as many other union-signatory agencies.

BBH has been signed to our union Commercials Contracts since 1999. Sadly, in spite of repeated outreach, BBH has refused to honor our agreement and has been shooting non-union commercials. In response, SAG-AFTRA is striking only BBH (not any other Publicis Groupe affiliated agencies.)

Join us at the BBH L.A. office as we demand they honor our agreement.

MEET US: 
@ SAG-AFTRA  
10:15 a.m. 5757 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036
Transportation will be provided but space is limited. Reserve your seat now.

OR

@ BBH Los Angeles
11 a.m. 8360 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069
If you plan on taking the bus, please RSVP above so we can properly accommodate.

Many members launched their careers in commercials and continue to make their livelihoods in that discipline. Even if you don’t, I ask for your support for all union performers. The best way to show solidarity and fortitude for a vibrant, enduring commercials contract is to show up at a strike action. Your presence and support is greatly needed to draw out the power of our union and affirm that signatory commercial producers honor their commitments and hire only union talent. 

I urge you to attend tomorrow and bring as many allies as possible. The union needs a large gathering of faces in the crowd to send a strong message. 

Join me and fellow member tomorrow at the BBH L.A. office at 11 a.m. to ensure the thriving future of the SAG-AFTRA commercials contract. 

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

In solidarity,
Jane Austin
SAG-AFTRA Secretary-Treasurer and Los Angeles Local President

SAG-AFTRA has no labor dispute with any person other than BBH.
