SAG-AFTRA brings together two
great American labor unions: Screen
Actors Guild and the American
Federation of Television and Radio
Artists. Both were formed in the
turmoil of the 1930s, with rich
histories of fighting for and securing
the strongest protections for media
artists. Our members united to form
the successor union in order to
preserve those hard-won rights and
to continue the struggle to extend and
expand those protections into the 21st
century and beyond. We are actors,
announcers, broadcast journalists,
dancers, DJs, news writers, news
directors, program hosts, puppeteers,
recording artists, singers, stunt
performers, voiceover artists and other
media professionals. Our work is seen
and heard in theaters, on television
and radio, sound recordings, the
internet, games, mobile devices, home
video: you see us and hear us on all
media distribution platforms. We are
the faces and the voices that entertain
and inform America and the world.
