The AFL-CIO today issued a new national charter to SAG-AFTRA, the new union formed by the merger this year of Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Both predecessor unions had been AFL-CIO members.
SAG-AFTRA co-presidents Ken Howard and Roberta Reardon, who had previously served as vice presidents on the AFL-CIO’s executive council as representatives of SAG and AFTRA, respectively, will continue to serve on the council as representatives of the new union.
