ONE UNION that flow through our employers' evolving revenue streams. These are some of the most important reasons why SAG and AFTRA have chosen to work toward building a new union together. There are other reasons as well, tracing directly to the interests and concerns expressed so clearly during the Presidents' Forum Listening Tour. Naturally, members are eager to know specifics, but uniting SAG and AFTRA requires a comprehensive approach to many interrelated details. As any one aspect of the plan takes shape, others may change; therefore, we haven't reached conclusions we can share yet. But we continue making steady progress. Once the G1 has arrived at a plan it can recommend, our national boards will examine it carefully to determine if it meets the needs of SAG and AFTRA members. If they approve the plan, full details will be provided to every member and there will be ongoing opportunities to have questions answered. An issue of this magnitude requires that each member be able to cast a fully informed and well-considered vote. Working together, we have the rare chance to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Once we reach our goal, we trust our work will show a clear reflection of the hopes and expectations that so many members have shared, and we believe they will decide accordingly. Above all, we are excited about the future because we are confident that SAG and AFTRA are on a path that will make us all stronger.
