About Commercials

AFTRA members working on television recorded commercials work under agreements jointly negotiated by AFTRA and Screen Actors Guild (SAG])and the industry, represented by the Joint Policy Committee (JPC) on Broadcast Talent Union Relations of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA).

Radio commercials are negotiated solely by AFTRA.

These agreements cover commercial work in both television and radio and address such issues as session, holding, foreign, theatrical/industrial and internet fees; wild spot use fees and schedules, voice-over performers' and on-camera work on cable, as well as health and pension benefits. Throughout the year, AFTRA and SAG work together on various issues related to commercial work.
