APAG – The Union Fighting for Adult Performers’ Rights
The adult industry is constantly evolving, with performers working in a variety of roles—from film actors and webcam models to clip creators and phone sex operators. Yet, despite being an essential part of a billion-dollar industry, many adult performers face job insecurity, lack of protections, and unfair treatment.
That’s where APAG – The Adult Performance Artists Guild comes in. As an officially recognized labor union, APAG is organizing adult creators, performers, and industry workers to advocate for fair treatment, better working conditions, and access to essential benefits.
At CamBunny, we believe that every performer deserves support, security, and a voice in their industry. That’s why we’re shining a light on APAG and encouraging performers—past and present—to explore the benefits of union membership.
What is APAG?
APAG is a federally listed labor union dedicated to protecting and empowering adult performers across the industry. Their mission is to organize performers for collective bargaining, establish fair labor practices, and provide access to education, healthcare, and legal resources.
Whether you’re currently performing in adult films, webcamming, clip creation, sexting, or phone sex, or you’re a retired performer, APAG provides a platform where your voice matters. By joining, performers can help shape the future of the industry and work toward better standards for everyone.
What Does APAG Offer Performers?
APAG provides a range of essential services and protections that can make a real difference in a performer’s career. Here’s what members can access:
1. Organized Representation & Collective Bargaining
Performers deserve to be treated as professionals with fair contracts, set wages, and proper workplace protections. APAG is working toward industry-wide labor agreements that ensure performers have rights and protections when negotiating work.
2. Legal Support & Contract Negotiation
Understanding contracts and protecting your rights can be a challenge in the adult industry. APAG members receive:
- Free legal advice from professionals who specialize in the industry.
- Contract negotiation support to ensure fair pay and working conditions.
- On-set dispute resolution services to handle conflicts professionally and safely.
3. Performer Safety & On-Set Protections
APAG is fighting for safer working conditions on set by implementing standards and on-set steward programs. These measures help protect performers from workplace exploitation and ensure consent, boundaries, and safety are respected.
4. Health Insurance & Financial Security
Unlike traditional jobs, many performers lack access to healthcare, disability benefits, and retirement plans. APAG is working to ensure performers can:
- Get health insurance referrals and coverage options.
- Plan for retirement and financial security.
- Access emergency assistance when needed.
5. Performer Education & Training
Success in the adult industry isn’t just about talent—it’s also about knowledge. APAG offers performer training programs to help members navigate the business side of the industry, manage their brand, and stay informed on legal changes.
Why Unionizing Matters for Adult Performers
For too long, adult performers have been excluded from traditional labor protections. Many industry professionals are classified as independent contractors, meaning they don’t receive benefits, job security, or protections against unfair labor practices.
By unionizing through APAG, performers gain the collective power to demand better pay, safer working environments, and access to crucial resources.
The Power of Collective Bargaining
Unions have been instrumental in protecting workers’ rights across multiple industries, and APAG is bringing that power to the adult industry. Through collective bargaining, APAG is working to:
- Ensure fair wages and standardized industry pay rates.
- Establish workplace safety protocols for sets and online platforms.
- Prevent unfair de-platforming or account closures that impact performers’ income.
