The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has reached an agreement with all producers of programming for Retirement Living TV, LLC—a new basic cable network devoted to older Americans’ needs—to assure that AFTRA members will be employed in all entertainment and information programs on the network. Welcome to the new version of our website. The content is very similar to what you’ve seen here before, but we’ve changed how the Conservatory calendar is displayed. Classes are now listed along with the other meetings in the Events calendar, located in the upper-right hand navigation. To view future classes and other meetings, just click on the month you want to view. For a full description of the class, just click on the class title in the calendar.
We welcome your feedback. Please direct any questions, comments, or suggestions to gwright@aftra.com. Tom Sater was an award-winning meteorologist at Fox 5 in Washington, DC. After almost 7 years of service, management at WTTG-TV (the Fox O&O in Washington, DC) decided it was time for him to leave, even though he was very popular with the viewers, and had won 5 Emmys. Management claimed "gross misconduct" and terminated Tom’s employment without notice or severance pay. AFTRA investigated, and concluded that gross misconduct had not occurred, and demanded that the station pay Tom his notice pay and severance pay, under the terms of the AFTRA contract.
