Key SAG Rule to Survive Merger
The Hollywood Reporter: SAG’s Global Rule 1, which requires members to work only under a union contract, will be retained in a merged SAG-AFTRA, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Opponents of merger had raised the possibility that this would not be the case, since AFTRA has no analogous rule.

I think the only working under union rule provides an interesting debate for the merger. While SAG now has fewer reason to object to the merger, as a member of AFTRA the potential to not be able to work non-union would be a big deferrent. There is question of some people having to work union only and others not, but as the article brings up, how long would that last? I agree that the merger could be beneficial for size reasons, but since they are not fully competing unions I could see resistance from certain AFTRA sub-groups.
