Intimacy coordinators have unanimously elected to unionize under the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Members of the bargaining unit voted 100% in favor of unionization in an official election overseen by the National Labor Relations board, the union announced Tuesday.

SAG-AFTRA has been working with intimacy coordinators for many years, given their close working relationship with actors. In 2022, SAG-AFTRA passed a resolution to create a path toward offering membership to intimacy coordinators, and this appears to be that plan in action.

SAG-AFTRA has made intimacy coordinators a core priority dating back to the start of the #MeToo movement in 2017, creating a standardized process for training and certifying coordinators and creating a database for productions to find approved coordinators for nude and simulated sex scenes.
