Casting professionals who are also actors have been banned from running for elected office at SAG-AFTRA. The ruling came down today at a meeting of the union’s national board of directors. Deemed “management,” casting professionals are now also barred from serving as members of SAG-AFTRA negotiating committees, and as delegates to the union’s biennial conventions.
“Casting professionals, as hiring agents working on behalf of employers, act in an ongoing manner in the interests of employers, rather than in the interests of members of the union,” the resolution states.
