SIWA

The Screen Industry Workers Act (SIWA) is a new framework that changes the way workers contract within the screen industry. It came into force on December 30th, 2022, and requires collective bargaining with respect to minimum level working conditions and benefits, a safety net that will apply to all productions.

As an organisation within the bargaining process, the Motion Designers Guild of Aotearoa is your representative at the table. Click here to find out more about the Screen Industry Workers Act.
