They seek representation, competitive wages, and better working conditions among other things. Stay tuned for updates.

The workers that make events happen at the San Diego Musical Theatre have unionized with IATSE Local 122. They seek representation, better safety conditions, area standard wages among other priorities-and they know the only way to secure these wins is by coming together.

Last week we held 2 sessions of Common Sense Economics with our members. Went over how the economy is rigged against workers and how Unions are the vehicle for change. This is 1 out of many classes we will be having to include: Public Speaking, Leadership Development, One on One’s, Legislation, etc. We are building up our Union to win strong contracts.

Video put together by one of our members Ricardo Mendieta.

This week we held our quarterly meeting in Palm Springs-we tried something different and added a bbq to the mix.
It was a great success, members and pre apprentices showed up to learn about the union, and what we are doing to grow the desert.
We are organizing, getting contracts signed, and working with City officials to pass legislation that benefits workers.
We have a lot of work to do, but we need everyone's solidarity to make it happen.
