Many of you heard about SAG/AFTRA and WGA, right? There is lot of Guild in US, maybe in the world. Who knows. Guild is like Union or Club.

My parents have card of AWG. Alabama Woodworkers Guild. My dad’s skill is Intarsia and made many projects. He won few prizes. My mom is just following up and helping with toy like airplanes, jets and cars. They joined Toy Group to make toy for kids. They done that annual to give them away.

Okay, I am non-union SAG/AFTRA myself. I know it is hard to hold them accountable but happy to take in the time when it calls again. SAG/AFTRA. Screen Actors Guild – American Federation Television and Radio Artists. I could remember when I was late 20s and have contracts for SAG/AFTRA and a year later, I lost it. I still remember it very well. I never been in that list so non-union then. I could suppose them for their wish on their needs. Those actors and artists are not easy because they are dependent on financial and support their life. I know people who are successful and keep going on but not all of them.

The world not understanding about their guild is about. It is GROUP or CLUB, not meant that they are success. Guild is UNION job and support by group or club that pays for. Their skills are whatever they are having in their life. Can be Woodworkers, Artists, Actors, Workers or Athletes, etc.

One year, I was working with healthcare company and asked for UNION to pay for supporting. I never been UNION to work but NON-UNION to work because I did not get any paid in the future. Union does. I guess I get from my dad because he refused when they asked him. He works for 22 years and forces retired. I understand about union is good chance for everyone because it pays well and keep going working with. I been laid off three times because of non-union. If I had union, then I would not have been laid off.

Well, I am unemployed to actor access and hope hear from them again.

Peace out! ~ DW
