Event Details

In 2023, the United States Arts and Entertainment Sector had a unionization rate of 12.1%, well above the national rate of 10% (6% in the private sector). Also in 2023, the  Writer's Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American  Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) launched what would become one of the longest strikes in US history.

In an interactive session involving small group discussion and scenario  examination, we will explore the importance of labor representation in an industry that is notorious for its  organizing challenges, some of the factors that underpin the unionization rate, and the challenges arrayed against the people involved in the industry that is explicitly about our very culture.

Lunch will be provided.
