Even the perkiest of actors knows the benefits of SAG. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is a labor union that represents actors who have had a principal or speaking role in a movie, video, video game, television program, or commercial. Keeping current, SAG also represents actors on the Internet and in other new media. Primarily concerned with wages and working conditions, SAG boasts some 20 branches throughout the US that cater to about 120,000 members. Other services SAG offers include a pension and health plan, casting showcases, and acting workshops and seminars. Founded in 1933, SAG plans to merge with The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to form a successor union.
