Screen Actors Guild members OK dues hike
Members of the Screen Actors Guild voted overwhelmingly to approve increases in dues and initiation fees.
The membership voted 68% to 32% in favor of raising dues for the first time since 1999. The increase will raise additional funds to help the union expand its organizing and emerging technology departments.
In May base dues will increase by $16 a year for members earning less than $500,000 annually. Actors earning $500,001 to $1 million will pay 0.25% of their earnings. In addition, the guild’s initiation fee will rise to $2,221 from $1,474 effective today.
