The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists is slowly becoming a major union for professional actors. Once you are a member of AFTRA you can no longer work any non-union work, but they are much more lenient on this policy than SAG is. A few years ago SAG members made a huge mistake by not merging with AFTRA. Since then there has been a significant increase in the amount of AFTRA programming.
