About Fi-Core Central
Fi-Core Central provides impartial, objective information about financial core status, geared specifically for the screen actor.
Fi-Core Central aims to be the ultimate factual resource for screen actors about financial core status — to help you decide what’s right for you as an actor. This website’s ebook, The Fi-Core Workbook, has been mentioned on NYCastings.
Financial core status — also known as “fi-core” status — is a United States Supreme Court-backed right for a worker to pay a union only for its collective bargaining services.
As a result of declaring financial core status within a union, you do not have to obey union rules — in particular, rules that may exclude you from working non-union.
For an actor, when you “go fi-core,” you are able to work both union and non-union acting jobs.
