4 OFFICIAL BULLETIN PRESIDENT’S NEWSLETTER MATTHEW D. LOEB Organize for Strength

Organizing is the antidote to many of the challenges faced by any union.

Inclusivity, representing all those who do the work, and leveraging the corresponding power is how we set and maintain standards. It is this fundamental concept that lays the foundation for the security of our members @matthewloeb and their families.

In our often freelance environment it is crucial that membership actually thwarts competition, it’s true. By joining we persevere to build as much power as possible. Gone are the union and allowing us to centralize bargaining power the days when exclusivity works as a method to drive the we work together to maintain our standards. We leave the employers to the union. We have learned that the more density employer no choice but to deal with us fairly. We are in a unions have through broad representation of the workforce position of power created by unity and solidarity as opposed the more successful we are at the bargaining table. We now to being whipsawed against each other to the benefit of the live in an age of rampant competition from employers that employers. pay wages and conditions below our hard fought standards. It is important to remember that we are not simply taking

When we organize, we are the standards and value of our work. As we absorb all the identifying workers already in the industry who have jobs. It’s qualified technicians and artisans into IATSE membership we our duty to convince them that supporting the union is best diminish the employers’ opportunities to pit worker against for them and all industry workers. worker. When we find qualified, experienced people working We must have a steadfast strategy that corners the labor in our crafts without the benefit of representation we must market and organizing is core to that concept. We must embrace them. Their fight is literally our fight. The benefits we maintain what we’ve worked so hard for and understand reap from this progressive approach are immeasurable. In the that all workers deserve a fair shake.

GENERAL SECRETARY-TREASURER’S MESSAGE JAMES B. WOOD A Key Responsibility For Presidents and Treasurers When it comes to listing the numerous obligations of leadership, the completion of paperwork in a timely manner no doubt does not appear at the top of many lists. However, for some officers of local unions in the United States, not completing some types of paperwork in a timely manner can lead to both civil and criminal consequences.

CHANGES TO CANADIAN OFFICE / DEPARTMENT

Both the Canadian Office and the Canadian Department are undergoing change right now. The department has been stepping up its organizing efforts; recognizing that waiting to be contacted by potential members looking for representation is not IATSE & LABOR MOVEMENT NEWS enough. There are thousands of workers in theatres, and in the film industry, all across the country who deserve representation and need our help. Toward that end, the Department has hired Jeremy Salter as an International Representative and his primary focus will be on reaching out and working with Locals to help organize these workers. Jeremy has an extensive organizing background and has jumped in with both feet. If you have info about workers who might be interested in IATSE representation or would like some more info, you can reach Jeremy at [email protected]. In addition to staff, the Canadian Office itself will be undergoing some changes. As the department has gradually increased, so have space requirements. As a consequence, the Canadian Office building tenants have been given notice and, as of June, the department will be taking over the space completely. Growth Equals Strength!

Specifically, each of the dozens of rooms would require a Head Audio, Head Video and Light Board Operator, all familiar with the equipment provided in each room. These positions were in addition to the nearly 1,800 referents the Local was dispatching that week. Fortunately, Local 16 has a robust, ever-evolving training program nimble enough to adapt to the task at hand. Their program began in 1981 with a complete overhaul of the apprentice program. Before that time, most of the training was on the job, with oc- casional classes taught by committed members volunteering their time.

LOCAL 54 REMEMBERS PRESTON MARYE

Preston Marye lost his battle to stomach cancer on July 28, 2018. He was the Technical Direc- tor of SUNY Cortland Theater Department for the past seventeen years and a member of the Local 54, Binghamton, NY for the past thirty-four years as a rigger. He was a world traveler, outdoors man, trophy-winning fisherman and dart player. He was a Trustee for the Local for many years. Preston was always ready to lend a helping hand in whatever needed to be done to get the show ready. He willingly shared his knowledge to those who sought it. The respect he had within the Local, and from all who worked with him, was immeasurable. He will be missed by all.
