Welcome to our new readers, and to those who are carrying over from the former Sagwatch site. Sagwatch proved that there is a vibrant and articulate community of members, formerly of SAG and/or AFTRA, and now of SAG-AFTRA, who care deeply about the future of their unions. We hope in this site to continue providing a forum for information and discussion of all sides of the issues that will inevitably confront SAG-AFTRA as it works to define itself as a single union and deal with the challenges presented by today’s evolving media and technology landscape.
As with Sagwatch, we have deliberately kept our names out of the limelight because we didn’t want it to be a matter of what films, shows and campaigns we’ve done, or what we’ve booked, that dictates how people read our postings. Either you agree, or you disagree –- but with the ideas we’ve put forth, not with us personally.
There is no connection, financial or otherwise, between this site and SAG-AFTRA. The postings here represent our views as union members. Expression of these views is protected by federal labor law.
If you find we’ve made mistakes, let us know. We don’t care what your credits are, we care about getting it right.
You can reach us by e-mailing editor (at) sagaftrawatch.net, or of course by posting a comment here. Please review our Privacy Policy concerning material submitted to us.
Thank you for visiting, and we hope you will find this site interesting and useful.
Many thanks for SAGWatch….for for starting SAGAFTRA Watch!
Heya! Congrats on the new site. I’m very glad some of you decided to carry on the torch.
I’m very curious about “What Happens Next” regarding the merge and to know What is ACTUALLY happening, specifically with the P&H plans. Has the SAGAFTRA board asked each of the plans to start looking into options for merging the plans? WHere do we go from here? Who is working on making that happen? Etc.
Thanks in advance for any info you can track down!
Email to editor staying the same or different?

Ed. Comment: You can write to editor@sagaftrawatch.com or editor@sagaftrawatch.net, whichever is easier to remember. Both go to the same place.
what gives? Is everyone who disagrees with this site banned? Who made that decision? I can’t believe you would do that unless this is some kind of self serving, only those who agree with all we say sight. In which case, bye bye.

Ed. Comment: I’m not sure what this refers to. There is one notorious poster who is banned because of repeated posting under multiple identities, as well as troll-like content that does not belong here. There is no issue re disagreement. People are free to disagree, as long as they refrain from personal attacks on other posters and maintain a civil tone.
We are being relentlessly spammed with posts that appear to have been imported from other sites from past years. All of those are being blocked.
Kathy, to whom are you referring? The only person recently banned (and I can only assume he was) is the usual suspect who was never banned on any site for “disagreeing” but for being abusive, threatening and out of line in his/her comments.
Is there someone else who got banned? Or–is this really Kathy?
