ACTION Film Meeting with members / actors and non-PMA agents

Performers in South African theatre deserve clear, fair and sustainable working standards. ACTION is working to make that happen, and this meeting is your chance to hear where things stand and be part of the conversation.

ACTION's immediate goal is a negotiated performers' and actors' contract, developed through the formal process under the Competition Commission exemption. That exemption gives stakeholders a lawful, transparent space to negotiate recommended minimum rates and contract terms, something the industry has long been unable to do without risking competition law action.

Once a contract is agreed, it goes to the Competition Commission for confirmation that the process complied with the exemption. From there, the next step is to ask the Department of Employment and Labour for a sectoral determination, which could turn recommended standards into enforceable ones. That process includes public participation, so the input of performers, agents and other stakeholders matters.

This session is for SAGA members, actors and agents who are not part of the Personal Managers Association (PMA). Come to:

• Understand what the process means for Film work specifically

• Ask questions and raise concerns

• Share your experience so that theatre realities shape the outcome

Many actors work as independent contractors and fall outside key labour-law protections. Your voice helps build standards that reflect how our industry really works.
