SAG Members: Join the Labor Day Tweet-a-Thon!

Join CSI:NY’s Hill Harper, Breaking Bad’s R. J. Mitte and Thousands of Your Fellow Union Members for a Labor Day Tweet-a-Thon

Union Members Tweet in Support of Labor and Screen Actors Guild

This Labor Day, we can all do our part to help send a positive message about the value of unions – and we’re encouraging you to join other union members in doing so through Twitter.

We’re joining with Actors’ Equity Association, AFTRA, Major League Baseball Players Association and American Rights at Work to Tweet about the advantages of being a #unionmember.

Just a few of those participating this year include your fellow union members CSI: NY star Hill Harper, Breaking Bad star R.J. Mitte, Grammy winning Foo Fighters' lead guitarist Chris Shiflett, award-winning broadcast journalist and reporter for KCBS in San Francisco Bob Butler, Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria, Minnesota outfielder Michael Cuddyer, Texas pitcher C.J. Wilson, and Actors’ Equity Association members from across the country.

Labor Day is not a just a day to commemorate the protections, rights, and opportunities that labor unions and workers’ rights advocates have achieved in years past.  It’s a day to broadcast the critical role unions play today for all workers–in entertainment–and in every industry.

Simply send one or more Tweets over Labor Day weekend – Sept. 3 through Sept. 6 -- with the hash tag #unionmember <http://twitter.com/search?q=%23unionmember>  to showcase the strength, solidarity and diversity of our unions. If you would like to use your Tweet to show your support for SAG, also include the hash tag #SAGmember <http://twitter.com/search?q=%23sagmember> .

To see just how many union members are Tweeting, check out www.unionmember.org <http://www.unionmember.org> or search #unionmember in Twitter.

Happy Labor Day.
