The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) is a labor union for vocalists and actors on live, taped, and digitally recorded media. AFTRA pre-negotiates rates for member vocalists, as well as other compensation and benefits. In 2012, AFTRA merged with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
