IATSE Solidarity with Writers Guild @ NBC
(L-R) Local 798 Political Coordinator Gina Riggi, Local 798 Business Representative Rosemarie Levy, International Representative Liz Pecos with International President Matt Loeb
FYI: Sister Riggi is a long-time political activist for our IATSE District 3 Family who serves her home local and our District very well.
âOver 100 IATSE members came together with several other unions on Tuesday during WGA Eastâs Rally at 30 Rockefeller Center.
IATSE President Matthew D. Loeb appeared alongside leaders from SAG-AFTRA, Actorâs Equity, RWDSU among others, asserting, âThe entertainment community unions are here in support of what is right. We work for the same employers and fight the same battles every time we sit down to bargain. No single union can correct the imbalance by itself, you need the full solidarity of this industry and other industries. The labor movement stands with you."
