I found the name of the Netherlands' equivalent of the SAG on a
website called "SAG Watchdog."
"And now that Melissa Gilbert, James Cromwell and their USAN/Restore
Respect slate have vowed to spend millions more of our dues for a
second try at their WORLD WIDE UNION, we think you, the membership,
should consider the Possibilities...

From what I've read, it appears that this organization is a vakbond
(trade union) which also serves other kinds of performers in addition
to actors. Here's a mention in connection with dancers:

There is also a guild called ACT, for film and television actors. The
paucity of online information about this group leads me to believe
that it is much smaller and less powerful than the organization
mentioned above.
