The Official page for Local 479: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts...
Local 479 is made up of motion picture professionals working together to obtain guaranteed minimum working conditions, to maintain health insurance coverage for themselves and their families, and to protect themselves against employers who may take advantage of employees. Local 479 is not a "hiring hall", which means that each member must work diligently to obtain each motion picture job. However, the union does provide a stable footing of negotiated rates and is always available if contractual issues are encountered between its members and their employers. Local 479 looks to the future, to improve the working skills and hire rate for its members through continuing education courses provided free of charge (or with nominal fees). This page is one of several methods of delivering up-to-date information to our members; confidential information will only be sent via email and posted to password-protected sections of the Local's website.

Yesterday, IATSE welcomed the announcement of a settlement of the much litigated merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery after determining that the deal would include significant protections for workers throughout the motion picture and television industry.
This agreement creates measurable obligations tied directly to production levels, investment, and employment opportunities, including: a commitment to theatrical movies, more production and more work in the United States, real consequences for falling short of annual theatrical release commitments, protections for cable networks and distributors, labor and workforce protections, a commitment to investing in the industry, editorial independence at CBS News and CNN, continuing commitment to a free streaming platform, with ongoing monitored oversight.

IATSE is working with industry leaders and lawmakers from both parties to develop legislation that can pass Congress. The IA’s priority is making sure that working people are at the center of the plan, and that a federal incentive results in more productions, more workdays, and more good-paying entertainment jobs here at home.
