Negotiation Meeting Dynamics and Setting

The strike is over and the tentative agreement is here for us to vote on by December 5th. To give you all the most information I can during this voting period, I wanted to bring you tow special guests: Charlie Bodin and Kevin E. West, members of the SAG Negotiating Committee. You may know Charlie from Halt and Catch Fire (2014), Good Trouble (2019) and Hindsight (2015), while Kevin can be seen on The Righteous Gemstones, Hawaii 5-0, Criminal Minds, Bones, Castle, CSI: Miami, Justified, Leverage, Lost, 24, Desperate Housewives, NCIS, Alias, CSI, and dozens more. After 118 days in the negotiating room, they take us on a journey through the step-by-step process of the tentative contract and share their insights into the ever-evolving landscape of our industry. We’re getting a look inside the room where it happened, the gains won and the concessions made, especially as it pertains to AI. As SAG-AFTRA members, it's crucial that we stay informed and participate in shaping our future. Let's come together, and make an educated choice, whether that leads you to a “Yes” vote or a “No” vote. Together, we can shape the future of our industry and protect the rights of all actors!
