For Members FOREVER BETTY SAG Life Achievement honoree Betty White will be immortalized with her own U.S. postage stamp in 2025. She may be best remembered for her comedic roles in The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, her love for animals and for gracing the nation with one of the longest entertainment careers ever. White joined the union in 1946 and died in 2021 at age 99. SAG-AFTRA EVP Touts the Importance of Unions S AG-AFTRA Executive Vice President Linda Powell was a keynote speaker at the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers 41st Grand Lodge Convention on Sept. 3. Themed "Honoring Our Past, Building Our Future," it took place Sept. 1–6 in New York City. Her speech, which came following the Labor Day holiday weekend, was a powerful testament to the power, importance and continued impact of unions. In addition to recounting SAG-AFTRA's victory during the 2023 negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers and support of legislation against the misuse of artificial intelligence, she called for the solidarity of unions across all industries. "A future where every worker in the United States is unionized is absolutely a possibility. Imagine what a future that will be — where everyone can afford rent, groceries, health care and transportation. Let's raise our voices as workers and make that future a reality," said Powell.
