The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television
\nand Radio Artists (AFTRA) are expelling from membership, or denying
\nmembership to, actors and actresses who worked for struck employers
\nduring last year’s nationwide strike against advertising agencies and
\nproducers of radio and television commercials. If you did struck work
\nduring this strike, you should know the following:<\/p>\n

SAG and AFTRA can lawfully expel their members, or deny membership, for
\nworking during a strike. However, SAG and AFTRA, and advertising agencies
\nand producers, cannot lawfully discriminate against nonmembers in hiring
\nor in auditions. If a nonmember is willing to pay the dues amount while
\nworking under a SAG or AFTRA contract in a non-Right to Work state, that
\nis all that is required under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
\nEven in non-Right to Work states, the most that can be required as a
\ncondition of employment by a "union shop" agreement is the
\npayment of the equivalent of union dues (misleadingly called
\n"financial core membership") or, if an employee notifies the
\nunion that he or she objects to paying more, only that part of dues that
\nis used for collective bargaining and contract administration. Therefore,
\nadvertising agencies and producers commit an unfair labor practice if
\nthey refuse to hire, or fire, an actor or actress because that person is
\nnot a union member. Similarly, SAG and AFTRA commit an unfair labor
\npractice if they cause an advertising agency or producer not to hire, or
\nfire, based on nonmembership. For information on how to file an unfair
\nlabor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, if SAG or AFTRA expels or refuses to admit an individual to
\nmembership for any reason other than nonpayment of the initiation fee and
\ndues, including for working during the strike, that individual cannot
\nlawfully be required to pay anything to the union as a condition of
\nemployment during the period of expulsion or denial of membership. See
\n<\/i>NLRA Section 8(a)(3), 29 U.S.C. Section 158(a)(3); Communications
\nWorkers Local 1104<\/i>, 211 N.L.R.B. 114 (1974), enforced<\/i>, 520
\nF.2d 411 (2d Cir. 1975); Transportation Workers, Local 525 (Johnson
\nControls World Services)<\/i>, 326 N.L.R.B. 8, reconsideration granted
\nin part<\/i>, 327 N.L.R.B. 23 (1998).<\/p>\n

In a state that has a Right to Work Law, advertising agencies and
\nproducers can never lawfully require union membership or payment of union
\ndues as a condition of employment, and SAG and AFTRA cannot lawfully
\ncause or attempt to cause an advertising agency or producer to do so.
\nSuch conduct would violate both<\/strong> the Right to Work Law and the
\nNational Labor Relations Act.<\/p>\n

SAG and AFTRA can require payment of a fee for the operation of a hiring
\nhall, but the fee must represent the actual costs of operating the hiring
\nhall, and the hiring hall cannot discriminate against nonmembers.<\/p>\n

SAG and AFTRA members may resign and declare "financial core
\nstatus" at any time in order to escape those unions’ rules against
\nworking for nonunion employers. To avoid discipline for working on a
\nnonunion production, an actor or actress must resign before beginning the
\nnonunion work. For information on how to resign click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The legal principles discussed above apply to all<\/strong> entertainment industry unions, not just SAG and AFTRA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
