@athurlow Members get a free 30 minute legal consultation through Optum on each issue. And then discount legal services if you need it…

[IATSE // #IASolidarity @IATSE]

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)

[Marisa Shipley @marisaship]

@subrawoman Or maybe even worse he saw it all happening and thought yep this is a perfectly normal well oiled production that values it’s crew. Which is 100% bullshit.

[Marisa Shipley @marisaship]

@sl_huang Absolutely! I’m glad that crew are starting to learn more about each other’s crafts. I’m also amazed by script supervisors - I’m the VP at their local @IALocal871 !

[Marisa Shipley @marisaship]

@sl_huang Correct.

I would say that many script supervisors object to being called ‘scripty’. Feeling that as a craft that is currently 91% women (and historically so) it’s dismissive and sexist of an underpaid department of one on set, who make less than any other department head on set

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

[John Ryan E @RyanElward]

UPS drivers, do not cross picket lines to make a delivery ever. We have the option to enter a non-delivery as STRIKE. #Striketober

[Darren Hallihan @Editor_Darren]

Please make sure your co-workers understand that if we strike on Monday, this means no communication with work. No emails, No texts, No phone calls. Striking is the stoppage of all work, not helping them out in the background. #IASolidarity #iatse #iastrike

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

"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."

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

[Marisa Shipley @marisaship]

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

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

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

[Christina Dirkes 💎 @christinadirkes]

Respect for the “top showrunners” who mentioned #IASolidarity in their Hollywood Reporter interviews only!

Rob McElhenney, Prentice Penny, Mike Schur, and Krista Vernoff.
