SAG-AFTRA negotiates contracts, provides benefits, and ensures fair working conditions for its members. The union also offers resources for professional development and promotes diversity and inclusion within the industry. By uniting members, SAG-AFTRA strengthens their collective bargaining power and helps protect their livelihoods.
