SAG Forms Merger Task Force
The Screen Actors Guild has taken a huge step forward down the path toward merger with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The guild's national board of directors voted unanimously on Saturday to create a merger task force to work with AFTRA. The board’s resolution instructed the task force “to meet with representatives of AFTRA as soon as practicable, but no later than June 2011, to initiate the development of a plan to create a successor union formed from the best elements of both SAG and AFTRA.” SAG president Ken Howard will lead the task force.
