International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada, known as simply the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees or IATSE for short, is a labor union representing over 140,000 technicians, artisans, and craftspersons in the entertainment industry, including live theatre, motion picture and television production, and trade shows in the United States and Canada. It was awarded Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre in 1993. IATSE was founded in 1893 when representatives of stagehands working in eleven cities met in New York and pledged to support each other's efforts to establish fair wages and working conditions for their members. IATSE has evolved since then to embrace the development of new entertainment media, craft expansion, technological innovation and geographic growth. Read more at Wikipedia...
