I’ll have my thoughts on this later
Over the weekend, the Adult Performance Artists Guild announced they received their federal filing number from the department of labor and have been confirmed as a union!Once originally known as the adult performers actors Guild, members of APAG severed their relationship with their former parent union and re-organized. With the milestone of 1,000 verified members on the horizon, APAG is proud to have received their filing approved by the Department of Labor.Based in Los Angeles, APAG’s filing status offers the opportunity to open multiple chapters across the world as an international union. APAG is currently focused on growing membership, continuing their battle against occupational discrimination, and creating collective bargaining agreements with adult businesses and platforms. Board members from APAG are President Alana Evans, Vice President Ruby, Secretary Kelly Pierce, Treasurer Ash of DitaInc, Sergeant At Arms Amber Lynn, APAG Legal Counsel James Felton, as well as India Morel as board member, Jorge Reano as our parliamentarian, and Tino D as our Steward.“ It has been a long road for our group. We are so pleased that after so many years of being held down, restricted by past issues with our former parent union, the freedom of having our own filing will empower our members and our community! We will be able to fund our programs and extend our access to care and support for our workers,” APAG President Alana Evans noted.APAG’s legal counsel, James Felton stated “I am really proud of the officers and members of the Union who made this happen. This step will open up lots of important opportunities for performers.”
