Joint Statement from SAG-AFTRA and L.A. County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis
The SAG-AFTRA National Board met Monday and Tuesday following the union’s four-day biennial convention in Los Angeles. SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris opened the meeting by welcoming the union’s newly elected board members. Said Carteris, “I’m looking forward to working with each of you over the next two years on initiatives that will benefit members throughout the country, impact our organizing efforts and inspire the next generation of leaders within our organization.”
SAG-AFTRA today announces that Region 31 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Los Angeles has officially issued a complaint against Spanish Broadcasting Systems (SBS) after finding merit to a myriad of egregious unfair labor practice charges filed by the Union against the media company.
The third SAG-AFTRA National Convention concluded Sunday with members voting on final resolutions and speeches from the union’s top officers, focusing on the convention’s theme: Our Union, Our Strength, Our Future. The day capped a three-day event that brought together member delegates from across the country to vote on resolutions that advance the union and its mission.
"We commend the courage and candor of every woman who has spoken out about the disgraceful, aggressive and inappropriate behavior they experienced with prominent industry employers. We support their right to speak out and we lift up their voices so that their truths can be fully heard. Everyone has the right to work in an environment free of discrimination and harassment.
