Puzzled by the upcoming proposed merger of SAG and AFTRA?
Me too.
And as a newly-minted AFTRA member, I haven’t even nearly figure out the way things are, much less the way things might be.
I’ll give the folks at AFTRA high points for trying to provide answers, though. An upcoming online meeting for AFTRA members only to help answer the questions. Looks like most of the top brass from both unions will be on the line to sort things out for the attendees.
Here’s the message I got:
