Flora Stamatiades Alert: "Non-Jurisdictional" Fiction, not Fact ! AEA and 4As members should beware of ANY audition notice claiming that a production or project is "non-jurisdictional" or "not in any union's jurisdiction." It is highly unlikely that such a claim is correct. This terminology is almost exclusively used to avoid a union contract, when one should be in place. Please contact Flora Stamatiades, National Director, Organizing and Special Projects by phone at 212-869-8530, ext. 419, or by email at flora@actorsequity.org before auditioning for any live project that claims to be "non-jurisdictional" or "not in any union's jurisdiction."

Today's professional performers must be able to work in every medium: theatre, television, radio, film, the internet and other new media platforms. To protect the wages and working conditions that everyone deserves, members of one union may not undermine another union's efforts to organize professional work opportunities. Simply stated, you may not accept employment in a "sister" union's jurisdiction without the signing the appropriate contract, unless you verify that the second union does not object and confirms that it is not trying to organize or achieve a contract with that particular employer.
