It has been an honor to work collaboratively alongside Taylor on the AFL-CIO Executive Council as the members of IATSE and UNITE HERE have endured many of the same obstacles in tandem, including a global pandemic that saw many of our kin out-of-work. 2/4.

It was an honor to join IATSE Local 600 and ICG Publicists at the 61st Annual ICG Publicist Awards as they presented the Television Showperson of the Year Award to the multitalented @SirPatStew. Very well deserved!

Thanks to the courage of these workers and others, we stand at the cusp of a new era in VFX. An era where every worker’s contribution and value are recognized, where they can win the same rights and protections their @IATSE co-workers already have.

Workers shouldn’t have to jeopardize their hard-earned retirement security in order to pay their bills. This safety net is something we can and should offer to support those who make the difficult choice to strike.

IATSE proudly stands behind Rep. Schiff's Empowering Striking Workers Act, advocating for future workers who may find themselves in the challenging position of going on strike. Workers exercising their rights in order to achieve a fair contract shouldn't be forced into debt. 1/2.

BREAKING: Just introduced a bill with @RepAOC & @DonaldNorcross to grant striking workers unemployment insurance. Strikes drive change not just for those on strike, but for all workers. No one should have to choose between fighting for progress or feeding their families.

The only reason a shutdown is a possibility is because a small group of right-wing hardliners in the House of Representatives is willing to inflict collateral damage on working people for political posturing. My statement condemning a possible US Federal #GovernmentShutdown:

Our presence and leadership within UNI Global Union must continue to serve as a beacon of hope and strength as we fight to ensure entertainment workers can have safe workplaces, are paid fairly, and are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of the country they call home.

Our largest employers are organized internationally, so we must organize internationally as well. Nothing happens in a vacuum and the standards of entertainment workers internationally directly impact the economics of our business right here at home.

BREAKING: Visual Effects (VFX) crews at Marvel Studios have filed for a unionization election with the National Labor Relations Board. This signals a major shift in the VFX industry, which has been largely non-union since the 70s. VFX WORKERS ASSEMBLE!!

Workers in our industry – above and below the line – have been squeezed during the ongoing transformation to the streaming model. The WGA and unions everywhere fight higher work pressure, unsustainable remuneration models, unsafe working hours and deadlines. 1/2.
