IATSE // #IASolidarity

Better wages, stronger workplace protections, and dignity and respect on the job — that’s the union difference. Congratulations to the production workers at The Juilliard School on ratifying their first contract. The arts are #BetterInAUnion!

IATSE Production Locals organized two New York-based low-budget feature films this week, securing benefits and industry-standard terms and conditions for the crews! Workers on "20/20" and "A Christmas Spin" reported the jobs to their Local Union Representatives, asking for assistance in getting the shows under contract, and stuck together with strong support and solidarity throughout the organizing process. Congratulations to all!

President Matthew D. Loeb speaks at Senator Adam Schiff’s spotlight hearing in regard to a federal film tax credit:

This past weekend, IATSE Local 13 members were proud to be part of something truly historic in Minnesota. The No Kings flagship rally drew an estimated 100,000-200,000 people and Local 13 members helped make it happen from the ground up. Local 13 crews set up the main stage where speakers and performers took the spotlight as well as hanging banners at the Labor March kickoff rally. And when the march moved through the streets, Local 13 members were right there as marshalls, keeping the event safe for everyone in attendance. The event featured Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, but none of it happens without the skilled hands and dedicated labor that built the stage they stood on. Local 13 was proud to work AND march in this historic moment for Minnesota and for democracy.
