Why is it so egregious that film and tv crews have to fight so hard for basic human necessities like adequate sleep, meal breaks, and living wages? Because the AMPTP represents the most powerful media corporations on the planet. Which ones? We're glad you asked. (THREAD)

Really really proud of all the members doing the scary work of telling our stories and organizing for change. Change we desperately need. If you haven't already sign the petition - actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…

Remember when #Netflix ran ads about how easy it was to mail DVDs back and forth? Back then we gave streaming companies under 20M subscribers discounted rates to give this “experimental” industry help getting on its feet. But times have changed. (THREAD)

Honestly this is the tweet I’ve been waiting for more than any celebrity endorsement. 👏 #iastories #IASolidarity #ialivingwage

Our goal is not to strike. Our goal is a fair deal. IATSE // #IASolidarity members deserve to have reasonable rest, sustainable benefits, living wages, and meal breaks. #IASolidarity

totally unrelated just thinking about when we were months into wfh and the assistants, together, emailed like hey remember how you used to buy us lunch when we worked on the lot? can we have that money to help with food at home? and they were like :) no ❤️

Aidy Bryant showing some #IASolidarity on tonight’s #SNL!

Had a great time talking on 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩 about our working conditions with other IA members spanning a couple states and different experiences - with shared take aways. #IASolidarity

I LOVE MY UNION IATSE // #IASolidarity / IA Local 871 AND ITS PEOPLE. hell yeah team. I hope that members see what organizing can do and DO MORE OF IT. I certainly plan to ✊😭 #IASolidarity IA_Stories

Did this interview approximately 2 minutes after getting the strike authorization vote results today! honestly still working my way through all of the feelings. #IASolidarity

NEW: The first installment of Hollywood Salary Diaries, a project I have long wanted to do to provide pay transparency and insight into the careers of entertainment industry workers businessinsider.com/hollywood-sala…

Respect for the “top showrunners” who mentioned #IASolidarity in their Hollywood Reporter interviews only! Rob McElhenney, Prentice Penny, Mike Schur, and Krista Vernoff.

This is not complicated. If you can’t afford to pay your employees a living wage, you do not have a viable business model.

Mmmhmm. Historically female dominated *and still are*… Art Department Coordinator - 81% women - $16.82 Assistant Production Coordinator - 64% women - $15.66-$16.32 Script Coordinator - 47% women - $17.64 Writers' Assistant - 55% women - $16

BREAKING: Unless an Agreement is Reached, IATSE film & tv workers will begin a nationwide strike on Oct. 18 at 12:01 a.m. (PDT) iatse.net/strike-date-se…

"I think you see an enormous resolve in 98% of our 60,000 member in film and television to authorize a strike. To get 98% of anyone to agree to anything just speaks to how enormous of a problem these conditions are for the crews." Marisa Shipley IATSE // #IASolidarity x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

and this is why all shows should have UPS shipping accounts. #Solidarity ✊

The workers, who are predominantly women and LGBTQ+, are paid $99 less per performance on average and receive 60% less in contributions to health care and retirement plans compared to the stagehands they work alongside. (2/3)
