WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2021 - As a coalition of union professionals, we proudly stand in solidarity with our International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) kin in their push for fair wages, benefits, and working conditions from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the major film and television production companies who employ IATSE members. 

IATSE members hold essential roles behind-the-scenes of tv and film productions, and are key to their employers’ success. They deserve a fair contract that addresses basic work standards like reasonable time between shifts, meal breaks, liveable wages, and fair benefits.

We are united with IATSE!
