The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (The Alliance)

orchestral & opera performers as well as people
working in public relations, advertising, book publishing
& website production; in fact everyone who works
in the industries that inform or entertain Australians.
The
Alliance was created in 1992 through the merging of
the unions covering actors, journalists and entertainment
industry employees:
* Actors Equity (AE)
* The Australian Journalists Association (AJA)
* The Australian Theatrical & Amusement Employees
Association (ATAEA)
Since
amalgamation, the Symphony Orchestra Musicians Association
(SOMA) & the NSW Artworkers Union have joined
the Alliance, a Professional Sports Branch has been
created & the Screen Technicians Association of
Australia (STAA) reconstituted itself under the Alliance
banner.
The
Alliance is affiliated with the Australian Council
of Trade Unions, ACTU, the International Federation
of Actors and the International Federation of Journalists,

on all major training delivery bodies catering for
its members. It is affiliated with the Australian
Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and State Labor Councils

of Expression Exchange, a global network of more than
