I.A.T.S.E. LOCAL 16

Who We Are Local 16 is part of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States and Canada (IATSE). The IATSE represents technicians who serve all parts of the entertainment industry. Since the birth of our organization over 100 years ago, IATSE stagehands and movie operators have been joined by a great variety of other crafts. Technicians and artists in motion picture and television production, product demonstration and industrial shows, conventions, facility maintenance, audio visual presentation, and motion picture computer graphics, to name a few, have all banded together to achieve the maximum unified strength possible. Our Goal Our goal at IATSE Local 16 is to represent workers in the San Francisco Bay Area, wherever they work, and to work to provide them and their families with benefits that can travel with them from employer to employer. With union representation, you could change jobs without fear of losing your health insurance and with a consistent retirement benefit, two of the basic necessities for achieving and maintaining a quality life.
