December 17, 2014: The IATSE local crew in Charlotte, NC celebrated with
Carolina Voices and their Singing Christmas Tree. It was a historic performance,
and celebrated a significant anniversary. The 2014 performance was the Singing
Christmas Trees 60th year, and was one of the first shows performed at Ovens
Auditorium during the grand opening season. Ovens was the first stage venue
Local 322 staffed, after beginning as a projectionist Local in 1914.
This years Union crew was proud to take part in the historical event, and looks
forward to 60 more years behind the scenes at one of Charlottes oldest holiday
traditions.
Sixty years after the first performance, Local 322 continues to work at Ovens
Auditorium, and nearly every other large performance space in Charlotte. Earlier
this year, Local 322 celebrated their 100th anniversary of receiving their charter
on February 13, 1914.

Congress should not push Fast Track, not now, not ever.
Fast Track undermines our democracy and almost always ends
in trade deals that benefit corporations and the wealthy. It also
eliminates jobs, and cuts wages and benefits for millions of hardworking families across America.

MediaSmarts Launches
Online Ethics in Canada
s an organization that plays a large role in the creation of movies and television shows, the IATSE
has been an avid supporter of any initiative that helps to educate people about intellectual property,
digital theft, and copyright protection. Online Ethics was developed by MediaSmarts to help par-
ents and teachers give children and youth the guidance that they need dealing with moral dilemmas such
as cyberbullying, sharing other peoples online content, academic honesty, and respecting intellectual
property.
Online Ethics looks at how students
behave online and introduces important concepts that consider ethical behavior such as ethical development,
empathy and laws, rules and personal
morality. Most notably, this new initiative includes Ethics and Intellectual
Property as one of the critical components for parents, teachers, and students to consider as part of online ethical behaviour Doing the right thing

President Loeb noted that research
indicated that this was the first General
Executive Board meeting ever held in
the City of Charlotte. North Carolina
is one of only two states that out-laws
public sector collective bargaining. It became a Right-to-Work State in 1947, the
same year that the anti-labor legislation,
Taft-Hartley Act was passed. The North
Carolina State AFL-CIO represents
the largest association of local unions
and union councils representing over
120,000 members. President Loeb com-

JAMES ANDREWS
PRESIDENT, NORTH
CAROLINA STATE AFL-CIO
President Loeb introduced special
guest, North Carolina State Federation
President James Andrews who served
as the Secretary Treasurer of the State
Federation for thirteen years before being
elected President. He is the first full-time
elected African American State Federation President in the Countrys history
and is currently serving in his second
term as a member of the National AFLCIO Executive Council.
A member of many community and
labor organizations, President Andrews
has served as regional representative and
executive committee member of the National A. Philip Randolph Institute and

for Effective Citizenship. In addition,
he was appointed by North Carolinas
Governor James B. Hunt to serve on the
states Natural Resources and Community Development Council, and, on the

IATSE is one of his favorite labor organizations to work with in the State and he
expressed his appreciation to Stage Local

WASHINGTON, DC
Re: Union Virtual Office
Local 868 Business Agent Anita
Wilkinson and Secretary Anne Vantine
appeared before the General Executive
Board to report on Local 868s virtual office project.
During the past year the Local has
undertaken several initiatives based on
ideas that were formed at the IATSE Officer Institute. Among its activities was
the process of launching a virtual office
project. By way of background, it was reported that Local 868 is a small Local of
approximately 63 members. Most of the
Locals officers work full-time as treasurers and ticket sellers in Washington, D.C.
venues while also managing the business
of Local 868. As a result, the administrative operations of Local 868 have been
challenging. The Local does not own or
rent office space. In the past, during officer turnover, new officers would travel to
previous officers homes or storage units
and physically take custody of many file
boxes containing the Locals records.
Local 868 also lacks a networked
computer system. Therefore, any electronic records have been stored on individual computers, which were periodically moved between the homes of
outgoing and incoming officers. Researching the Locals records involved
manually sorting through boxes of paper
and electronic files, which were often
stored separately in each officers respective home or computer.
To address these difficulties, Local

Re: 2014 Contracts
Local 21s President Michael Stas
and Business Manager Stanley Gutowski
made an appearance before the Board to
report on a number of collective bargaining agreements the Local secured during
2014. The Local negotiated six agreements, two of which were the result of
successful organizing drives, specifically,
The ShowBox and Kelly Percussive Arts.
The agreements with these two employers as well as with the George Street Playhouse, the Prudential Center Arena, the
State Theatre in New Brunswick, and the
Paper Mill Playhouse all provide solid
wages, benefits, and working conditions
for members and referents. The Local 21
annuity fund, which was established in
1991 and to which all of the Locals employers contribute, is valued in excess of
seven million dollars. The annuity fund
will help to ensure that participants retire
with dignity and financial security.
Brother Stas reported on a number
of organizing drives that are pending or
which have concluded successfully but
for which a collective bargaining agreement has not yet been reached. The Local
will update the Board on these campaigns and contracts as appropriate.
Finally, the Local reported that it is
holding a raffle of a 50 flat screen television to support the IATSE-PAC.
President Loeb commended Local 21
for its foresight and for its aggressive organizing. By doing so, the Local is maintaining area standard wages and benefits
on behalf of all workers. President Loeb
noted specifically that the Local is engaged in all this activity despite the fact

that it has no full-time officers. He expressed his appreciation for all of the Locals efforts, including those in support of

in Washington, D.C.
It was reported that the National

in place for at least 100 of those years.
The National Theatre has built many
notable pre-Broadway productions over
those decades, and has consistently been
among the highest grossing venues in
Local 22s jurisdiction.

D-Wars, LLC
In October, 2004, a production called
D-Wars did pick-ups in Los Angeles
for a film shot mostly in Hong Kong.
As a result of this additional photography, a budget audit was conducted and
the production had indeed gone over
budget. Finally, on December 12, 2007,
the parties resolved the audit grievance,
which resulted in a $300,000 settlement
for the crew. The settlement called for the
payroll to be distributed through Axium
Payroll Company. The check arrived and
the payroll was being processed when
Axium closed its doors in January, 2008.
None of the crew received their money.
In May, 2011, the IATSE and the Production company restructured the settlement at a discount but at least a recovery
of half the original settlement money.
The parties were free to pursue any additional recovery through the Axium bankruptcy proceedings. The general unsecured claim filed by the IATSE on behalf
of the 104 crew members was paid only 9
cents on the dollar, but will add a little
greater pro-rata share for this crew who
performed the work in 2004.
BEYOND THE RED CARPET
International Vice President J. Walter
Cahill reported on an event sponsored
by the Congressional Creative Rights
Caucus, titled, Beyond the Red Carpet,
which was held on September 10, 2014 in
the Cannon Caucus Room of the House
Cannon Office Building. The Creative
Rights Caucus is a bi-partisan caucus
that serves to educate members of Congress and the general public about the
importance of preserving and protecting the rights of the creative community.

President Loeb congratulated the Canadian Office on the success of the Plan.
President Loeb also noted the advantages
of acting collectively and encouraged
more of this type of collective action to
secure increased benefits for members at
reduced costs.
CANADIAN LOBBY TEAM
International Vice Presidents John
Lewis and Damian Petti, and Canadian
Office Operations Manager Krista Hurdon reported to the General Executive
Board on the Canadian Offices participation in Lobby Days in Ottawa, Ontario
on October 6 and 7, 2014.
Vice President Petti reported that
this was the first time the Canadian Offices lobbying team, consisting of Vice
Presidents Lewis and Petti, and Canadian
Office Manager Hurdon, participated in
this two day lobbying opportunity. The
services of the Canadian Offices newly
engaged federal lobbyist, Isabel Metcalfe,
were drawn upon to facilitate the Canadian teams lobbying meetings with the
following Federal Ministries: Canadian
Heritage, Citizenship and Immigration
and Employment and Social Development.
Vice President Petti went on to explain that the Canadian teams lobbying
efforts focused on five areas:
1. The recent changes to the Temporary
Foreign Workers Program;
2. Federal Government engagements of
IATSE members for festivals, concerts
and rallies with a particular focus on
the organisers of the upcoming Canada 2017 National Festivities (150th

CBS CONTRACTS
Assistant Director of the Motion
Picture and Television Production Department Daniel Mahoney reported on
contract negotiations with CBS Broadcasting, Inc.
Negotiations were concluded on August 13, 2014 for a new agreement covering motorcycle couriers in Washington,
D.C. The agreement covers all motorcycle couriers and shipping employees
employed in Washington D.C. by CBS
News. As a result of the negotiations a
new four-year contract will cover these
employees for the term of July 1, 2014
through June 30, 2018. Wages will increase a total of 8.5% over the four years
of the agreement. Wage increases are to
be compounded.
Negotiations were also completed for
a new contract covering Set Decorators
employed at the CBS Broadcast Center
facilities in New York City. The negotiations concluded on September 11, 2014
and resulted in a new four-year contract
from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014,
with a total wage increase of 8.5% over
the four years of the agreement. Sick
leave provisions were modified to increase the number of paid sick days for
per diem set decorators from three to five
per calendar year.
Finally, the International concluded
negotiations with CBS covering the building service attendants working at the CBS
Broadcast Center facilities in New York
City. As a result of the negotiations, which
concluded on September 18, 2014 the IA
and CBS Broadcasting, Inc. agreed to a
four-year contract with a total of 8.5%
wage increases over the term of the agreement and an increase in the annual safety
shoe reimbursement allowance.
President Loeb thanked Assistant Director Mahoney and noted that it can be

pulous tactics designed to exploit workers, which could then be appealed to federal court giving Crew One a third bite at
the appeals process.
President Loeb remarked that the
IATSE will continue to represent workers and improve their economic standing
and working conditions. He commended Vice President Di Tolla and Brother
Gluckman for their exemplary work and
thanked them for their commitment.
EGG PRODUCTIONS
International Vice President John
Lewis, Assistant to the President Sean
McGuire and Local 849 President Gary
Mitchell reported to the General Executive Board about the ongoing legal disputes between Local 849 and Egg Films.
Vice President Lewis reported that
on April 17, 2013, the Supreme Court of
Nova Scotia dismissed the Judicial Review application Egg Films filed disputing Local 849s certification as exclusive
bargaining agent for Egg Films technicians. He explained that Supreme Court
of Nova Scotia upheld the decisions of
the Nova Scotia Labour Relations Board
certifying Local 849 as the exclusive bargaining agent for Egg Films technicians.
Vice President Lewis went on to explain that pursuant to recent legislative
amendments in Nova Scotia, Local 849
applied for and was ultimately awarded
first contract arbitration with Egg Films
after protracted unsuccessful attempts to
reach a first collective agreement. A oneyear contract was presented to Local 849
and Egg Films on September 19, 2013,
heralding the end of what had been a
long and difficult process. The first day of
shooting under the newly implemented
agreement successfully took place on December 10, 2013.
Vice President Lewis also reported

well as yearly increases to the IATSE National Health & Welfare Fund. The Local
also secured improved working conditions. The membership of Local 127 ratified the contract in early December and
has implemented the conditions.
Local B-26, Minneapolis, MN
Representative Bateman was also
assigned to assist Local B-26 with negotiations at the Minneapolis Historic
Theater Group, the presenters of Broadway Across America and Concerts at the
Orpheum, State, and Pantages Theaters.
This contract has been extended for a
year because of the evergreen clause.
During negotiations the bargaining
committee was successful, increasing
wages and annuity and the health insurance contributions for full-time employees. Local B-26 ratified the agreement.
Local 274, Lansing, MI
After a summer of negotiations, International Representative Joseph Short
and Local 274 were able to successfully
negotiate a four-year deal with Michigan
State University. The highlights of the
agreement include expanded jurisdiction
covering the entire campus and yearly
wage increases.

Assistant Motion Picture Directors Daniel Mahoney and Vanessa Holtgrewe and
International Representatives Jamie Fry,
Scott Harbinson and Lyle Trachtenberg
reported on the activities of the Motion
Picture and Television Production Department since the last Board meeting.
Vice President Miller reported on
the status of the Basic Agreement and
Area Standards Agreement (ASA), both
of which expire July 31, 2015. As previously reported, preparations for these
negotiations are on-going. In September
2014, President Loeb convened a meeting
of the West Coast Studio Locals in Los
Angeles and a conference call of Studio
Mechanics Locals and others working
under the ASA. The AMPTP has agreed
to meet in April in order to negotiate for
successor agreements. Quality of life issues and New Media productions are anticipated to be priorities in both of these
negotiations, in addition to wages and
benefits. Vice President Miller reported
that proposals from all of the affected
Locals were due on January 16th. As part
of the preparation for bargaining, the
IATSE has engaged the services of David

budgets in which they are being produced. This is consistent for both AVOD
(Ad Supported Video on Demand) and
SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand).
The antiquated provisions of the New
Media side letters are being utilized less
and less and no new companies are able
to access it. This continues to be a priority and the Department anticipates addressing it at the bargaining table next
year with the major studios.
The AICP Television Commercial
Agreement currently has over 430 signatory companies and an additional 15
companies have signed the term Independent Commercial Agreement. Policing this agreement continues to provide
challenges as companies continue to
produce non-union. Two notable commercial organizing victories recently are
a Ruffles Commercial by Big Breakfast
Productions and a six-day Adidas commercial by Mental Entertainment.
It was reported to the Board that
ten budget compliance audits were concluded for the IATSE by Nigro, Karlin
and Segal and nine are pending. Of the
ten concluded audits, eight were found
to be in compliance and two voluntarily
reported their overage and paid the crew
retroactively at the proper rates.
Since the last report to the Board,
seventeen new companies have signed
the term agreement package. In addition
to new term companies, the Department
continues to pursue organizing opportunities in all areas of production. Several organizing victories were reported,
including reality productions Shahs of
Sunset, Sex Box and Bama State Style.
Reality TV entities Reveille, Endemol and
Core Media have merged to create a giant
independent television company. This

out for assistance with tradeshow employers. Representative Sanders was assigned to assist the Local. At the time, the
Local had no collective bargaining agreements covering tradeshow employers in
its jurisdiction. Initially, Lancaster was
approached because a few of Local 67s
members had worked for the employer
over the last several years. Lancaster was
agreeable to negotiations, but expressed
some concerns about the ability of the
Local to provide a qualified workforce.
Nonetheless, a four-year agreement was
secured, with wage increases from 1% to
4% over the term and 1% contributions
to the IA Training Trust Fund. Representative Sanders will work with the Local
to build a relationship with the employer
and address training issues.
Freeman AV Contract Implementation
Representative Sanders has been assigned to assist several local unions that
have been assumed under the Freeman
AV National Agreement. These include
Local 19, Baltimore; Local 22, Washington D.C., Local 115 Jacksonville; Local
321, Tampa; Local 412, Sarasota; Local
500, South Florida; Local 631, Orlando;
and Local 647, Naples.
During the last quarter of 2014, the
leadership of each of these Locals was introduced to the implementation process
in order to ensure a successful transition
37
to the agreement. Most of them are assessing and cataloguing the skills of their
members. Some have completed that task
and have developed the classification lists
as defined in the contract. Customer
Service Training and identifying future
training needs are priorities for each
Local.
In addition to the above outreach,
Representative Sanders assisted with
the AV Essentials Training for four of
the Locals including South Florida, Orlando, Baltimore and Washington D.C.
In each case, Customer Service Training
was presented as part of the curriculum.
Since AV Essentials training is limited to
28 participants, it is imperative that local
unions schedule additional sessions for
Customer Service Training to capture the
majority of each Locals membership.
Local 835, Orlando, FL
Representative Sanders was assigned
to assist Local 835, with a series of grievances against GES. The majority of the
grievances involved misclassification of
employees as new hires instead of journeymen, resulting in payroll shortages
and/or non-payment of benefits. There
were mitigating factors and the employer was arguing that the grievances were
not timely. The Local argued that the
employer ignored attempts by the Local
early in the procedure to rectify the payroll issues, thus creating delays affecting
timeliness. Once past this, both parties
worked toward resolution. In the end,
the Local secured a settlement of nearly
$10,000 covering all affected employees
and the misclassification issues were resolved to the Locals satisfaction.
Local 504, Orange County, CA
Representative Faulkner was assigned
to assist Local 504 in managing its work
on Blizzcon, a large industry show held
annually at the Orange County Convention Center. Several other labor organizations in the area claim jurisdiction for
the production including the Teamsters;
IBEW; Decorators and Sign Hangers;
and Painters. While these Unions hold
contracts with the tradeshow companies
in the region, the majority of work for
this show is done by the IATSE under a
Southern California Regional Agreement
with In-House Productions of Las Vegas.
As the show grows each year, Pat
Bash, owner of In-House Productions
and member of Local 720, continues
to expand his hold on the labor for the
show. Each year, the influx of other labor
organizations and company representatives threatens to erode that hold as they
seek to capture some of the work from
show management. As Audio/Visual
components expand, future shows will
require more and better skilled workers. Local 504 recognizes this challenge.
The Local is committed to improving its
training program to address these needs.
More importantly, it recognizes that the
audio visual market in Southern California is vastly under represented and the
Local is prepared to take advantage of
this organizing opportunity.
Local 363, Reno, NV
Local 363 was able to conclude negotiations with Tropicana Entertainment
for the bargaining unit at MontBleu, its
property in Lake Tahoe, CA. Prior to the
first meeting, the Employer ended health
care contributions for all full-time employees at the property, regardless of representation. The Employer made further
demands for concessions in retirement,
vacation, working conditions, and other
economics. Nonetheless, a three-year
agreement was ratified on August 12,
2014.

IATSE COMMUNICATIONS
DEPARTMENT
Director Emily Tao gave the Board an
update of the Communications Departments activities since the August 2014
Board meeting in Seattle. The report
covered the status of the Internationals
communications networks, the Departments training sessions, and daily activities of the Department.
IATSE Website
The Communications Department
continues to maintain the Internationals
website with news, events, and member
photos, as well as education opportunities and affiliate causes that the IATSE
supports.
An Activism page is being planned
for the website, where it will display digital copies of the Activism section of the
Bulletin, in which an IATSE member
is asked to describe what activism and
being a union member means to him or
her.
Social Media
The IATSEs social media networks
continue to grow in number of followers
and reach. As a reminder, it was noted
that President Loeb is on Twitter at @
MatthewLoeb. Though his busy schedule
does not permit him to tweet as often,
his tweets have a high rate of engagement, meaning a lot of people read what
he tweets and share it with their followers. His account was one platform used
during The Met Opera campaign, where
his tweets received anywhere from 25
to 60 retweets. When the average tweet
has zero to 3 retweets, 60 is an excellent
number.
The well-received IATSE Social
Media Guide was updated in November
to include more relevant case studies and
updated screenshots, as Facebook and
Twitter had updated their layouts.

The report included an update on the
partnership between the IATSE and InfoComm International. As of January 1,
2015, the IATSE Training Trust Fund has
assumed responsibility for the finances
and scheduling of classes through the
Internationals partnership with InfoComm, however, Representative Adams
will continue his work relating to local
unions and the IATSE/InfoComm partnership. All IATSE members are eligible
to become members of InfoComm at
no expense to them, and may then take
a variety of free and discounted courses,
online and in person.
Since the mid-summer Board meeting in Seattle, there have been AV Essentials Training sessions for Local 500,
South Florida, Local 631, Orlando, Local
336 Phoenix, Local 22, Washington, D.C.,
Local 19 in Baltimore, and Local 15 in Seattle. This resulted in 140 members going
through an intensive four-day training
to prepare them to set up AV in hotel
and convention center breakout rooms.
At the end of the four-day class, participants have six months to complete the
online portion of the course in order to
receive the InfoComm/IATSE Live Event
Technician Certificate. To date in excess
of thirty members have completed this
requirement and have been awarded the
certificate. This is in addition to members who acquired their CTS certificates.
Locals that host this training are
now also asked to provide two senior AV
Techs from the Local (preferably CTS
Certificate holders) to act as assistant
instructors. The Education Department
has developed a training package of materials for Local unions that mirrors the
four- day AV Essentials class. The IATSE

with the Locals in contract negotiations
for the past several terms of the agreement. This past November, negotiations
for the renewal of the Master Agreement
began in Vancouver and continued in
Los Angeles for two weeks in December.
Fewer proposals were tabled by all parties than in previous negotiations. The
primary focus of the bargaining was on
wages and benefits, amending the New
Media Side Letter to address higher budgeted productions and subscribed video
on demand and the establishment of a
mechanism and funding for safety and
craft training. The parties were able to
reach a tentative settlement on all outstanding items with the exception of
wages and benefits. The parties ceased
bargaining and no further dates have
been set. Other ongoing and/or upcoming film negotiations in BC include the

It was reported that the NLRB issued several significant decisions in late
2014. The NLRB continues focusing on
labor law protections for persons engaging in protected activities using social
media. Employees have the right to talk
to each other about their jobs and working conditions. The medium might be
emails, Facebook, Twitter or some other
platform. If the conduct is concerted
(with and/or on behalf of a group), it
will generally be protected under the
National Labor Relations Act. Several of
the NLRBs decisions establishing social
media use as protected activity were impacted by the Supreme Courts decision
in Noel Canning, but the Board has reestablished that precedent. In December
2014, the NLRB also revised its former
standard for deferring to arbitration decisions when an employers conduct also
involves certain violations of the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRBs new
decision preserves access to remedies
before the NLRB and more stringently
examines the circumstances when an
arbitrator is asked to decide whether or
not an employer has violated the law in
addition to a collective bargaining agreement. The Report also remarked upon
a noteworthy decision involving IATSE
Stage Local 142, Mobile, Alabama. Local
142 successfully prevailed in a case involving the operation of its hiring hall. It
was reported that the General Executive
Board, local union officers, and others
may obtain a copy of the decision on the
NLRBs website by locating case number
361 NLRB No. 156.
It was also reported that focus remains on the NLRBs treatment of joint
employers (the definition that the NLRB
applies to determine if more than one
company is technically an employer
under the law). As previously reported to
51
the Board, the NLRB is expected to revisit the standard it applies to determine
joint employer status in a pending case.
The NLRBs decision in that case called
Browning-Ferris Industries has not
been issued. However, the NLRB General
Counsel has issued complaints in a number of cases alleging unlawful conduct
committed by McDonalds restaurant
franchises and their franchisor (the McDonalds corporation) as joint employers. The McDonalds cases are significant
insofar as they signal the NLRBs continued focus on this area of the law.
The report also mentioned possible
legislative ramifications for the NLRB in
light of the November 2014 U.S. federal
elections. For the first time in eight years,
Republicans hold majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives and it
is expected that congressional attacks on
the NLRB may be accelerated. It was reported that Republican Senators Lamar
Alexander and Mitch McConnell introduced a bill in September 2014 called the
National Labor Relations Board Reform
Act. The bill would make a number of
startling changes, including increasing
the NLRB to six members. It would also
include a mechanism to strip the NLRB
of its funding over time if the NLRB does
not issue timely decisions. It is believed
that Senators McConnell and Alexander
may seek to introduce similar so-called
reform legislation in the new Congress.
It was reported that such legislation, if
passed, could move the NLRB to a state
of near-paralysis.
The Legal Departments report also
commented on two pending litigations
involving the IATSE as a party. The Board
was reminded that a number of people
who were injured while attending an Indiana concert in August 2011 by the band
Sugarland sued the International despite

As with the 2012 conference, the

Vice President Dan Di Tolla organized
this unit in 1996 and it includes on-air

Federal Issues
Bill C-377
Vice President Lewis explained that
Bill C-377 is proposed anti-union legislation which would require detailed
financial reporting obligations for trade
unions in Canada. Bill C-377 has now
passed Second Reading in the Senate and
is before the Senate Committee on Legal
and Constitutional Affairs. The fight to
keep this Bill from becoming legislation
promises to be a bitter one and is expected to ramp up prior to the Federal Government elections scheduled for October
2015.
Bill C-525
Vice President Lewis explained that
Bill C-525 is proposed legislation that
seeks to change certification and decertification law for employees in the federal
sector, making it far more difficult to organize and far easier to de-certify existing
union workplaces. This Bill was passed
by the Conservative dominated Senate in
December 2014 and may serve as a template for the provinces, thereby affecting
all unions.
Elections Participation
Vice President Lewis confirmed that
the Canadian Office continues to actively engage in provincial and federal
election campaign initiatives. In particular, Vice President Lewis noted that
the Canadian Office participated in the
New Brunswick provincial elections
by consulting with Locals and devising
an appropriate e-flyer message to send
to local members encouraging them to
become engaged in the election process.
The incumbent majority Conservative
government was defeated by the Liberals. Vice President Lewis also reported
that the Canadian Office was also active in a number of municipal election
campaign races in Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Of particular note was the Canadian
Offices consultation with the seven Toronto-based Locals to share information
about the campaign issues and mayoral
candidates supportive of organized labours agenda. John Tory, the former
provincial Conservative Party leader
with somewhat more moderate right
leaning views, was elected.
Canada Labour Congress Campaigns
Retirement Security Campaign
Vice President Lewis reported that
the CLC has resurrected its campaign to
increase the Canada Pension Plan benefits payable to Canadian seniors across
the country. Any such change requires
a two-thirds majority support from the
provinces. With the recent election of a
majority Ontario Liberal government
that campaigned, in part, on the introduction of a new Ontario-based pension
for seniors, the CLC is currently holding
retirement security info sessions in cities across the country to generate grassroots support its campaign.
Fairness Works Campaign
Vice President Lewis reported that
the CLCs Together, Fairness Works
campaign launched almost two years ago
has entered into phase three of the television advertisement aspect of the campaign. Recent polls suggest that its aim of
re-branding labours image is starting to
take shape. Phase three of the campaign
targets unrepresented workers and directs them to the CLC website for more
information.

Labor 2014/Workers Voice
The AFL-CIOs overall goal was to
rebuild internal capacity and posed the
challenge to all affiliates of Requiring
a Commitment to Building Power for
Workers. In order to accomplish this,
the national AFL-CIO required that
State and Local strategic planning be
established whereby every State Federation and CLC was required to formulate
a plan to be agreed on by both affiliated
unions and federation bodies, and would
IATSE Activity
After the Mid-Summer meeting of
the General Executive Board, the efforts
of the IATSE local unions and membership took off in full force leading
up to the November 4th elections. The
IATSEs internal activity and participation increased with both grassroots efforts and financial support. Local unions
were reminded to continue to follow the
AFL-CIOs Ten Point Plan with communications to their members, stressing the importance of voter registration
and turnout. In addition, the Locals were
asked to help in providing volunteers and
release staff to work under the direction
of the AFL-CIO State Federations and
CLCs, and AFL-CIO President Richard
Trumka had put out an ask to all affiliates
to turn out 1% of their respective memberships. The number of release staff
provided by the IATSE in 2012 was fourteen. President Loebs goal was to double
that number for 2014. President Loeb
also asked that local unions that had the
financial wherewithal help in compensating the release staffers. It was reported
that the IATSE release staff increased to
a total of 38 who were provided to work

AFL-CIO 2015 Raising
Wages Campaign
Vice President Cahill, Assistant to the
President Reid and International Representative Scott Harbinson were assigned
to attend the first Raising Wages Summit
in Washington, D.C. The Summit was
attended by more than 300 activists and
union leaders and was viewed through
online live-stream video by thousands
more. The purpose of this Summit was
to launch a campaign to increase wages
for working people across the country.
A panel comprised of workers, academics, business owners and progressive
political leaders discussed some of the
great strides made by the raising wages
agenda and confronted great challenges
in 2014, including major organizing
wins at American Airlines, multiple state
legislative victories on the minimum
wage and innovative campaigns conducted by carwash workers. The panel
also recognized that further progress was
being thwarted by right-wing billionaires extremist politics, a greedy Wall
Street and insufficient advocacy from
political leaders.
Highlights of the Summit included
speeches by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Secretary of Labor
Tom Perez, who outlined the defining economic fact that productivity has
dramatically increased while wages have
stayed flat. AFL-CIO President Richard
Trumka concluded the Summit by highlighting progress made, remaining challenges and steps that the labor movement
will take to create an economy based on
raising wages.
The AFL-CIO will hold additional
mini-summits in the first four Presidential Primary States of New Hamp-

Workers. It was also reported that member involvement has increased because
the Local has successfully connected activism opportunities to the issues that
members face (for example, members are
instructed that taking education classes
can earn them more job opportunities).
The importance of marketing the Locals activism was also noted. Local 8s position on activism is to market its activities
to the fullest extent. Members are asked to
use social media to distribute photos and
materials associated with their activism
efforts. It was noted that the model that
Local 8 has chosen to maintain includes
some activist opportunities as part of everyday operations. This approach allows
every member to participate in some
type of activity during the year, but the
amount of routine participation varies
from person to person.
On behalf of Local 8, Vice President
Barnes thanked President Loeb and the
Board for the assistance that it received
which allowed the development of this
plan. Local 8 is growing and negotiating
good contracts for its members and it is
believed that the Locals activism plan
has furthered its goals.
President Loeb thanked and congratulated Local 8 for all its hard work and
noted that this plan works to improve the
lives of members. President Loeb further
remarked that effective leadership makes
it possible to prompt community support, political support, and ultimately a
growth in membership.

LOCAL NO. 482, CHAMPAIGNURBANA-DECATUR-DANVILLERANTOUL-CHARLESTON, IL
International Vice President Craig P.
Carlson reported on Local 482s agreement with the University of Illinois
Board of Trustees. When the Locals representatives presented their report at the
IATSE District 9 Convention in June of
2014, a request was made for President
Loebs assistance in the upcoming negotiations with the University of Illinois.
Vice President Carlson met with
Local 482 Business Manager Doug Gherma and Secretary-Treasurer Andrew Hall
to discuss their issues. He also met with
the Local leadership in advance of meeting with management.
Local 482 has historically represented
the Krannert Center for the Performing
Arts and Assembly Hall (the State Farm
Center) at the University. The Krannert
Center for the Performing Arts is an educational and performing arts complex
that houses four distinct performance
facilities.
The Krannert and State Farm Center
provide steady employment for the house
crew. During negotiations, the Local was
able to capture additional jurisdiction for
its traditional scope of duties which now
includes all athletic facilities throughout
the entire campus. Other highlights of
the agreement include wage increases, an
upgrade for the steward and ground riggers, annuity benefits, shift differential
upgrade, better accountability and collaboration regarding the request/referral
process and a five year term, as well as
modifications in contract language.

ACTIVI s t s c o r n e r
research and recently volunteered my time to build a new website for the Toronto Feral Cat Coalition in preparation for some
of their upcoming awareness and fundraising initiatives - Im
an animal lover, especially cats.
I enjoy being an activist and advocating for positive change
and discussing the challenges that unions and various equity
groups face. I take pleasure in exchanging experiences with and
gaining inspiration from other activists and forging new alliances.
I am a proud advocate for human rights and freedoms and
am committed to fighting against discrimination and bullying
in workplaces and in our communities.
Sitting on the OFL and CLC committees provides me a
unique opportunity for dialogue on LGBTQ/Human Rights issues as well as an opportunity to increase the visibility of the
IATSE in social justice environments. The fight for LGBTQ
rights, increased understanding of LGBTQ issues, advancement of LGBTQ visibility and continued work toward legislative equality for LGBTQ workers and union members is an endeavour that needs the support of organizations like the IATSE,
and Im proud to be part of that support system.
Organizational and cultural change comes from creating
safe spaces in which to question our values, build empathy and
share experiences. It comes from stepping up and speaking out
about the issues that we care about.
Each and everyone one of us can be activists and effect positive change, from small matters to major issues. In the union,
in the workplace, in the community, even in our own families. It doesnt matter who you are or where you come from, its
what you do that counts. If you believe you have the power to
make a difference you can! The power of one is strong when
added to the sum of individuals using the tools of democracy
to campaign for political and social change.
If you want to make the world a better place, you need to
be an active participant in shaping the fair and just future you
desire. Say it with me now...Solidarity and Fairness for ALL!

As a member, I worked
under our collective agreement on numerous film
and television productions
as a Production Coordinator, Assistant Production Coordinator and Production Secretary and have been active within the union by participating on
most of the Locals committees, volunteering as teller for contract ratifications, acting as Sergeant-At-Arms at our membership meetings and marching in annual Labour Day and Pride
Parades. I also served as Local 411s Vice President from January 2010 to January 2013 and this coming June will mark my
10th year as the Locals Operations Manager.
I have the privilege of representing IATSE Local 411 on the
Ontario Federation of Labours Solidarity & Pride committee and recently have been bestowed the honour of being appointed as the IATSE Representative to the Canadian Labour
Congresss Solidarity and Pride Committee.
I am a proud IATSE member and feel very strongly that the
union is only as effective as members make it, so I participate
in it as much as I can.
Activism has always been a part of who I am. In elementary
and high school I commonly stood up for the those being bullied, harassed or discriminated against. I wont tolerate most
isms. Especially racism. When someone is referring to another
person in a negative tone and says to me something like, What
race are they anyway? My response is always,Human!
In college I worked for the Downtown Churchworkers Association AIDS Action Force as an AIDS Educator and Public
Relations Rep. I also volunteered for From All Walks of Life
Torontos Walk for AIDS as a Campaign Volunteer and Team
Captain. Upon graduating from Seneca College, college officials asked me to take on the role of Inaugural President of the
Seneca College Gay, Lesbian and Bi-Sexual Student Association
which I did for its initial year.
I have donated some of my personally created artwork to
fundraising events raising money for AIDS and Breast Cancer

ne of the largest challenges facing any IATSE local union is maintaining the unions books, records, correspondences and other important papers in a way that is organized, accessible, and secure. For local unions that do not have
physical office space the challenge is often even greater, as officers struggle to maintain files at home and transfer
boxes and boxes of paper between officers when there is an election or other changes in union leadership. Financial
considerations in small local unions are also always a factor.
our union records remotely, by all officers (and members as appropriate), from
their home computers, phones or tablets.
In order to accomplish this, expert
advice is essential for any Local embarking on this project, and through the
IATSE Education and Training Department, we were connected with Dan Bacchus of the accounting firm Schultheis
and Panettieri, who was able to navigate
the IT and legal issues for us in a way
that guided us, saved time, and alerted us
to pitfalls and issues before they became
problems.
Password protected accounts will be
established for each office giving the officer access to all of the stored documents.
It is important to note that the accounts
will be linked to the office itself and not
specifically to the current individual
holding that office. This will simplify
things immensely as time goes on because we will not have to set up new individual accounts for each new person that
takes office. When new officers are elected, they will be given the login and password to the account for that office and
they will be ready to go immediately. For
example, when the current Secretarys
term is over, the Secretary files would be
instantly available in their entirety to the
new Secretary, without having to copy or
transfer them to a new account or computer.
This will eliminate the need to transfer physical records from one officer to
another, reduce the amount of storage
needed to hold physical records, create
faster search capability for better research, and allow easier access to records
from wherever our officers may be at
home, at work, at the negotiating table,
in meetings, etc.

The purpose of this checklist is to provide the broad steps
necessary for adequately configuring, leveraging and protecting
a Microsoft Office 365 email and virtual office system.
The first step is to determine the Unions Virtual office requirements (Local 868s decisions are in italics as a guide);
1. How many users do we have? Local 868 established that
there are 5 users (the officers).
2. Do we need Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc)?
It was determined that Local 868 did need to acquire Microsoft Office 365 for all 5 officers
3. Do we need document storage or just email? If document
storage is required then
a. We need to determine how much storage is required.
b. A file sharing schema needs to be designed.
Since Local 868 does not own or rent office space, document storage is a key need and is one of the primary reasons
that we chose to pursue this project.
4. Do we need any devices or peripherals (laptops, tablets,
printers, scanners, backup hard drive?). Local 868 took inventory of what equipment our officers had and needed. It
was ascertained that each officer had personal computers,
laptops and/or tablets, and they also had access to printers.
Therefore, we only needed to purchase a good quality scanner to scan and archive our files, and a backup hard drive.

union will provide to a member or person applying for Financial Core Status the most recent audit by the independent
accounting firm as to the chargeable and non-chargeable expenditures of the union and how the percentage of dues to
be paid was determined.
7)
A person who requests Financial Core Status may
choose to pay the full amount of the regular dues and in that case
he or she will be charged the full amount. Any member who takes
Financial Core Status or an employee who is required to fulfill financial obligations under the union security clause who desires
to only pay the amount of dues that are chargeable to a Financial
Core Status employee must notify the union in writing that he or
she does not desire to pay the full amount of union dues. Such
written request must be signed by such Financial Core Status person. The reduction of dues will take effect in the next dues period
after such notice is received by the union.
8)
A Financial Core Status person may within thirty (30)
days after taking Financial Core Status or after receiving the audit
statement, file a written objection to any of the items of the expenditures breakdown or to the percentage of the dues that the union
has determined must be paid. Such objections must be in writing
and signed by the person filing the objection. If the union does not
agree with the objection either as to the expenditures or as to the
percentage amount of dues to be paid, then the union will notify the
Financial Core Status person, objecting in writing that such person
has ten days to request arbitration; and if he or she fails to do so
within that time by a written notice, then such person waives the
right to arbitration.
9) If more than one Financial Core Status person requests
arbitration, the union will consolidate all such objections into one
arbitration proceeding. The union will provide an impartial arbitration proceeding through the American Arbitration Association and
will pay the administrative costs and the arbitrators fees.
10) The union will open an interest bearing, separate and
identifiable escrow account, if there are any objecting Financial
Core Status persons. Any portion of dues that is received by the
union on behalf of a Financial Core Status person that is in dispute
will be placed in such escrow account.
11) The President of the IATSE or his designee shall administer the policy in a manner that is consistent with the objectives of the policy and the applicable federal law to provide a
fair and equitable procedure regarding Financial Core Status
persons. The President or his designee shall have the authority
to determine the amount of the reduction of dues for each fiscal
year. For a local union, the chief administrative officer shall have
such responsibilities.
12) This policy shall be deemed to be automatically amended to conform with applicable federal laws.
