What is a labor union?
A labor union is "an organization of workers formed for the purpose of advancing its members' interests in respect to wages, benefits, and working conditions". The theatre industry, film and stage has many unions, and we will focus on three larger ones, Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), Actors Equity and IATSE. These unions can regulate: the amount of hours you work, your wages, where you work or your breaks.
