Labor and Employment Law in the Motion Picture and Television Industries (2024 Sports & Entertainment Law Section Program)


While every sector of the workforce deals with labor and employment law issues, this area of law in the motion picture and television industries presents several unique and industry-specific challenges and concerns — and it even has its own lingo!

In the summer of 2023, the motion picture and television industries came to a practical standstill as both the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) went on strike, and the nation watched and began discussing some of the key labor and employment issues of the motion picture and television industries.

Join the NCBA's Sports & Entertainment Law Section and their invited speakers as they explore employment contracts, guilds, and the collective bargaining agreements that are a critical component of every entertainment legal professional's practice.
