Intimacy Coordinators Join SAG-AFTRA in Unanimous Vote

The decision marks a significant step in professionalizing the role within the entertainment industry.

Intimacy coordinators have voted unanimously to unionize under SAG-AFTRA, as confirmed by the National Labor Relations Board.
The unionization effort aims to establish standardized wages and benefits for intimacy coordinators working in film and television.
SAG-AFTRA has been working to define and regulate the role of intimacy coordinators, especially following the #MeToo movement.
The union plans to negotiate the first contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to protect and support these professionals.
Intimacy coordinators play a crucial role in ensuring safety and consent during scenes involving nudity or simulated sex on set.
