Description

A SAG-AFTRA member of 23 years and Actors' Equity member of 17 years, Erin is a proud union performer who has appeared on the Broadway stage and in dozens of film, television, animation and commercial projects. As a New York SAG-AFTRA member leader, she was recently re-elected to the NY Local Board, currently serves on the union's TV/Theatrical/Streaming Negotiating Committee, is a Strike Captain on the NYC picket lines, and is also a fierce champion of SAG-AFTRA's "Ads Go Union" organizing efforts. She resides in Brooklyn and is the proud Mama of an 8-year old little boy named Beckett. She also has an old, grumpy cat named Wellington, who's a bit of an a-hole.

In today’s episode of “Mom Curious” Daniella is joined by Erin Fritch, an actor and advocate member of SAG-AFTRA. They discuss the importance of reading contracts and how Erin assists union members in navigating those documents (3:30). Erin explains the influence of Artificial Intelligence on the SAG member’s futures (8:40). They chat about the complexities surrounding payment and residuals, shedding light on injustices from the AMPTP (13:30).
In the end, Daniella and Erin talk about how the strike began and got member’s authorization and how it might ultimately come to an end through negotiations with AMPTP (28:40).
