SAG-AFTRA

The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, initialized as SAG–AFTRA, is an American labor union representing many different actors, journalists, radio personalities, recording artists, singers, influencers, models, and other media professionals worldwide. It was formed on March 30, 2012 after a merger with the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
==History==
Variety reported that the merger had proceeded with "few bumps", amid shows of good will on both sides. The stickiest remaining problem was reported to be the merger of the two pension funds, in part as a way of dealing with the issue of performers who paid into each plan, yet did not earn enough under either of the old plans to qualify for a pension.
Ken Howard was the first president of the merged union. Upon his death, he was succeeded by Gabrielle Carteris in 2016, then being succeeded by Fran Drescher.
===Striking===
SAG-AFTRA had performed many strikes. The most notable strikes include:
*2016–2017 video game voice actor strike, lasting 340 days (October 21, 2016 - September 23, 2017) over failed contract renegotiation terms that had been in discussion since 2015.
*Strike against Bartle Bogle Hegarty, lasting 303 days (September 20, 2018 - July 20, 2019) after the company announced they would no longer honor a long-standing contract with SAG–AFTRA.
*The 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike (July 14, 2023 - ongoing) was proposed after the guild voted to authorize a strike if its negotiating committee failed to reach an agreement on a new contract with major Hollywood studios by June 30.
==Channel==
The channel was created on May 9, 2014, and the first video was uploaded on May 28, 2014. The channel uploads videos relating to members of SAG-AFTRA and videos regarding things the organization does.
