Homonym: SAG (Droop)
The Screen Actors Guild, commonly known as SAG, is a labor union representing film and television actors in the United States. Founded in 1933, it aims to protect the rights and interests of its members, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to benefits. SAG negotiates contracts with producers and studios to establish industry standards.
In 2012, SAG merged with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to form SAG-AFTRA, expanding its reach to include radio and television performers. This merger strengthened the union's ability to advocate for all performers in the entertainment industry.
