Imagine that.
"ASAG".
Imagine a business that's historically been "outlaw" to actually get their shit together and create a union that empowers their workers.
An actor getting into the biz gets issued a card by the same place they got their medical test. They're assigned a number -- their ASAG number -- and that's how they're ID'd for future testing. And when they walk on set, we refer to their STD test by their ASAG number, not their real / stage name.
ASAG cards could also be the second form of ID for #2257.
ASAG members are only repped by licensed, bonded agencies. And the only way to get your ASAG card is to be refereed to the testing center by a licensed, bonded agent.
Bye bye frauds and pimps. Well...illegal pimps.
How about ASAG members have a small percentage of their earnings held until they're ready to retire from adult acting...and they get that money back -- plus interest.
All ASAG members jobs are tracked in case of the unfortunate -- for example, an HIV+ test.
There would have to be an agency that runs ASAG, and their interest can only be ASAG and its workers.
ASAG rates are set in stone and determined both by producers and agents.
Sure there's all sorts of issues that would have to be worked out, and there's holes in every idea, but why there's no version of SAG for adult actors in this day and age is silly. I'm winging this post before I go shoot, but I just wanted to give you some food for thought.
