The following is an excerpt from AFTRA National President Roberta Reardon's column in the Spring 2010 AFTRA Magazine. To read it in its entirety, click here.

Roberta Reardon AFTRA members are leading the way in our industries by working together with a common purpose and a shared vision for the future. Whether preparing for upcoming contract negotiations, advocating for reasonable protections against the online theft of copyrighted materials, training member organizers around the country or laying out a vision for what a new national union must do, AFTRA members are 21st century leaders for a rapidly evolving world.

As our industries evolve, we believe that we must reach out to non-union or pre-union workers who participate in our world of work. Non-union workers need to understand -- and trust -- that our dialogue with them is not a greedy grab for their jobs, but is a real and lasting conversation about the benefits of working union. Our goal is their goal and it's the same goal shared by all Americans: we must work together to build a stronger economy and a better life for ourselves, for our families and for the generations of workers who follow in our footsteps.
