"What Has My Union Done For Me?".
- Authors
Baar, K. Kevyne
- Abstract
The different methods acting unions chose to face and fight the onslaught brought on by the blacklisting of their members in the 1950s are the focus of this article. The author explains that like other unions, the three American actor's unions, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), and Actors' Equity Association (AEA) are expected to fight for the rights of their members, whether for better benefits, wages, or working conditions. Several examples of correspondence between SAG and the un-American Activities Committee.
