A DONE DEAL....
The AFTRA board of directors Saturday approved a proposed merger with SAG, triggering a membership vote that could unite the unions by the end of March into a single union, to be called SAG-AFTRA. The move was expected and came a day after SAG’s board passed a similar motion.
The proposal, which includes a Merger Agreement and Constitution, was approved 94% to 6%.
“We now have the opportunity to finally stand united through one union to secure more union work and better benefits for our members, and for the generations of entertainment and media professionals who follow us,” said AFTRA presidentRoberta Reardon.
"This is a terrific outcome,” said SAG president Ken Howard. He added, “I believe our members will decisively approve this merger.”
