Growth=Strength

From the International
It has been a furious start to 2025, as you can see in the Political & Legislative News section below. The start of the second Trump Administration has been a nonstop barrage of attacks on working people. It is our charge as the IATSE Political/Legislative Department to vigilantly track public policy impacting our union and keep the membership informed, so we can lock arms and hold our elected leaders accountable. The following provides recent notable news.

*IATSE on Executive Order Attacking Federal Workers Labor Rights

*IATSE Applauds Reintroduction of Performing Artist Tax Parity Act

*IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb Meets with Kennedy Center Workers Amid Recent Cancellations

Discrimination and Harassment Policy
To support each other as equals in the workplace, a working knowledge of our Discrimination and Harassment Policy will help everyone navigate situations where we might feel unsure of what to do. Anytime you see or hear of a questionable behavior write it down. Gather witnesses. Openly watching and listening (and others knowing we are) is a strong deterrent. Bring those Tools!

Why this Link?
IATSE C.A.R.E.S.

IATSE C.A.R.E.S. (Coronavirus Active Response and Engagement Service) is a new initiative designed to provide support to our most at-risk, elderly, and/or disabled members during the COVID-19 crisis. This website will also be used to provide information about future Mutual Aid efforts from the IATSE. For example, IATSE CARES creates a buddy system where members in need may sign up to have a volunteer check in with them as often as they choose.

Behind the Scenes

The Behind the Scenes charity issues grants to entertainment technology professionals, or their immediate dependent family, in need due to serious illness or injury that may be used for basic living, medical or funeral expenses, mental health or substance use support. The charity also issues counseling grants to assist with the costs of seeing a therapist or in-patient or out-patient rehabilitation.

Don't Be A Pirate!
Combating online theft and the sale of illegal CDs and DVDs Is nothing short of defending U.S. jobs and benefits. In the case of music, experts estimate that the digital theft of sound recordings costs the U.S. economy $12.5 billion in total output and costs U.S. workers 71,060 jobs. In the motion picture industry, piracy results in an estimated $5.5 billion in lost wages annually, and the loss of an estimated 141,030 jobs that would otherwise have been created.
