SAG Overview
Screen Actors Guild is the most distinguished performer’s union in the world. Our members are experienced professionals who require certain standards of working conditions, compensation and benefits. Membership is often a major milestone in an actor’s career; every SAG card issued symbolizes success and solidarity with a community of 120,000 talented and accomplished artists worldwide.
Giving You the Tools
In addition to negotiating and enforcing contracts for professional performers, Screen Actors Guild also offers members the tools to navigate the industry and expand their craft along the way. From the workshops of the SAG conservatory to resources for young actors, the Guild protects and enhances members’ quality of life on and off set.
Are You Ready to Compete as a Professional?
Screen Actors Guild membership is a significant rite of passage for every working actor. However, don’t be in a hurry to join unless you are sure that you're ready to compete as a professional. Prepare yourself by studying, performing in plays and non-union on-camera projects in order to build your resume and gain valuable experience.
When you are offered your first principal union job, we urge you to consider joining Screen Actors Guild, but understand it is a commitment. Once you are a member, you must abide by the rules of membership, starting with Global Rule One. And, whether you are a SAG member or not--never accept work during a Guild strike!

N.Y. Members, Come Out and Chat with Mad Men Star
Depending on your frame of reference, the world either has changed a lot since the 1960s, or hardly at all.
For many out LGBT actors, the latter is true. Concerns about discrimination, type-casting and negative public reception all factor in to one’s career choices.
If only there was a forum to discuss these kinds of issues….

Orlando (March 2, 2010) – SAG National President and AFL-CIO Executive Council member Ken Howard delivered a statement in support of the AFL-CIO's resolution on piracy today at the AFL-CIO Winter Meeting.

CBS SAYS KAPU FOR MEDIA COVERAGE OF HAWAII FIVE-0 PILOT
Certainly one of Hawaii’s most beloved and cherished series, the CBS network and studio producing the Hawaii Five-0 pilot set to start filming next Monday are declaring no media for the pilot…No reason was given…
What a difference 13 years makes since the last Hawaii Five-0 rebirth was shot here starring Gary Busey and directed by Stephen J. Cannell. That production not only invited news media to the first day of filming but also arranged interviews during the rest of the shoot…

Comment by Melissa Pawneshing on February 22, 2010 at 2:25pm - Ahhh, yes Scott, exactly. 30 days. I misspoke. (I must have been thinking 1 day because the AFTRA work was always few and far between prior to the WGA strike.)
-
Comment by Scott Rogers on February 21, 2010 at 7:56am - Actually with AFTRA, you can work as much as you want within a 30 day window. If you want to work after that, you must join.

What is good about AFTRA is that you can join before you work an AFTRA show. No vouchers.
If you join, you become union and are no longer eligible for non-union work.

I second that! You can work AFTRA - here's the catch, you must pay another initiation fee. If you choose not to pay up front they will use your paychecks toward it until you are payed up.
I think the first day of AFTRA is still a freebie, though I could be wrong - I haven't read the latest contract.
