SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris ('BH90210') faces Matthew Modine ('Stranger Things'). The union will fight to increase pay in negotiations with studios.
She noted the union has established a code of conduct, educating members and putting language in contracts to protect members from sexual harassment. The union also is working on guidelines for, professionals who can help facilitate sex scenes on shows or movies. There’s still more work to be done, Carteris said, such as developing and growing the number of qualified intimacy coordinators on sets that have gone through background checks.
Carteris is backed by the “Unite For Strength” slate that currently dominates the union’s leadership and national board. Modine, 60, said he would work to establish more transparency in union business and reduce infighting inside the famously fractious guild.“The current leadership has failed to negotiate on their behalf,” Modine said.
