IATSE Local B192

IATSE condemns the recent decision issued by the Supreme Court affecting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965. The decision by the Supreme Court to allow redistricting practices that dilute the voting strength of historically underrepresented communities raises serious concerns when it comes to political representation. Over time, changes in political representation can drastically shape the laws, labor standards, and economic opportunities that affect working people. Ultimately, it matters who has a seat at the table and how they are elected. Worker power and political representation have always been interconnected. History has shown that attacks on political representation have often gone hand-in-hand with anti-union policies, including wage suppression, weakened labor protections, and exclusion from economic opportunity.

BREAKING: IATSE President Loeb Joins Federal Lawmakers at Hearing to Level Playing Field for American Film Production During a spotlight hearing convened by @SenAdamSchiff and @RepFriedmanCA at Burbank City Hall Friday, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) International President Matthew D. Loeb emphasized the growing need for a federal film/tv production incentive to level the playing field and protect American creative jobs. “The American film and television industry faces an urgent threat from international competition. Foreign governments have successfully lured film and television productions, and the multitude of jobs they create, away from the United States with aggressive tax incentives and subsidies. Films intended for initial release in the U.S. are increasingly being shot overseas — and American workers are paying the price,” Loeb added. “In just a few years, IATSE members have lost tens of thousands of jobs across the United States. That’s thousands of families, small businesses, and communities across the country feeling the economic hardship of a shrinking industry.” Additionally, the hearing examined recent media mergers including Paramount Skydance’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, with President Loeb expressing skepticism of the deal’s impact on workers. “When major companies merge, workers often pay the price first. Without action to strengthen domestic production, we risk losing more jobs overseas. Federal policymakers must act to level the playing field and ensure the United States remains competitive in the global production market.” Sen. Schiff and Rep. Friedman both expressed support for a federal incentive and pledged to work with lawmakers in Washington to pass one. The spotlight hearing also featured testimony from the following witnesses: · Noah Wyle, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning actor; star, executive producer, writer, and director of The Pitt · Jim Acosta, journalist, author, and host of The Jim Acosta Show; former CNN anchor and Chief White House Correspondent · Jax Deluca, Executive Director, Future Film Coalition; Research Fellow, Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy

Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀

Workers from UNITE HERE Local 11 and IATSE 192 at Universal Studios Theme Park are demanding @NBCUniversal keep ICE out of @UniStudios Theme Park and back lot. NBCUniversal, thus far has failed to agree to these simple steps.

Join our fellow union kin tomorrow for an action at Universal Studios Theme Park to take back our power and stand up to corporate greed! IATSE Local B-192 and Unite Here Local 11 are in a joint bargaining campaign for workers at Universal Studios Hollywood and are encountering severe resistance to their proposals. At the same time, the company continues to insist that near-poverty wages are acceptable for these workers! RSVP here for tomorrow's rally to support our kin: actionnetwork.org/events/action-…
