to those struggling Actors and Actresses who work as Background on TV
and Film in the U.S.A. and their constant battle with their unions, AFTRA
(American Federation of Television & Radio Artists) and SAG (the
Screen Actors Guild) to get them to improve their pay, health/pension
benefits, work availability and work conditions.

Ever wondered why so many movies are made in states like Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, Florida etc. It's because of tax incentives and also because SAG allows producers to exclude all SAG Background Actors, so they can hire 100% Non-Union Background Actors at minimum wage with zero benefits. That's right, if you live and want to work as SAG Background in the white areas on the map below - forget it! SAG doesn't cover you there. However, get this, SAG will allow you to work at a Non-Union rate - typically minimum wage with zero benefits! Click here for proof.
This map is proof that SAG is not a national union for Background Actors. What should be done to improve conditions for Background Actors? Click on either link below.
