Episode description
SAG-AFTRA regularly negotiates contracts with major studios, networks, and production companies. It's a complex process that most members don't get to see up close. That's why we're excited to bring you this two-part series that breaks down what happens behind those doors. In this episode, we focus on the early stages of negotiations, from researching trends to getting critical member input. Our panel includes SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, Executive Vice President Linda Powell, Chief Contract Officer Ray Rodriguez, and Co-Chair of the TV Animation Negotiating Committee David Jolliffe. **The views expressed by the guests are their own and not that of SAG-AFTRA.
