The SAG-AFTRA National Board, meeting via Zoom videoconference Saturday (2/6), passed a resolution preemptively denying any potential re-admission applications by former member Donald J. Trump.
The resolution cites the same concerns that prompted the initial disciplinary charges — which were resolved by Trump’s resignation Thursday — notably his antagonism of the union’s journalist members and disregard for the values and integrity of the union.
“Preventing Donald Trump from ever rejoining SAG-AFTRA is more than a symbolic step,” said Gabrielle Carteris, president of SAG-AFTRA. “It is a resounding statement that threatening or inciting harm against fellow members will not be tolerated. An attack against one is an attack against all.”
