WGAE 101: New Member Explainers
Watch the New Member Explainer video series below
Welcome to your union!
We want to make the onboarding process as easy for new WGAE members as possible. To that end, we’ve put together WGAE 101 – a series of short videos explaining the basics of your Guild, your membership and the important rights and protections made available to you as a member of the union.
While not every video in this explainer series is pertinent to your specific work, they all provide insight into the many facets of how your Guild operates and how your Guild can be a resource for you.
