COVID-19 Member Updates

Due to the rapidly changing news regarding COVID-19, the protection of IATSE Local 11 remains a top priority. We have taken measures to protect Local 11 and all Local 11 family’s health, safety & security.

Please take a moment to review the following resources available to assist members during this challenging time.

Financial Benefits

Local 11 members are encouraged to reach out to the Actors Fund of America, Click here for more information or to apply for financial aid grants. (don’t let the name fool you…the Actors Fund helps all backstage workers)

Additionally, Local 11 Annuity Fund hardship withdrawals have been extended to assist members in the wake of COVID-19. Participants are eligible for immediate withdrawal in the amount of their loss due to layoffs, cancelled work, and other expenses related to the virus. If a hardship withdrawal is necessary please contact Lee Moore at lmoore@iatse11.org or call the union hall for more information.

Healthcare Benefits

Hiring Hall Updates

It is important to note that members Hiring Hall rank order will NOT be affected during the widespread work stoppage.

We realize that the existing hiring hall system will require an earnings threshold adjustment to compensate for the current reality. Rest assured at the Hiring Hall Committee’s next meeting we will draft a recommendation, which will be presented to the Executive Board and membership for approval.

The Hiring Hall Committee will be meeting by teleconference in early April to review all 2019 appeals. If you need help submitting an appeal, please either call the office or send an e mail.

Take Action

Our union is working with our elected officials on both the state and federal level to ensure we get what our members need.

In addition to working diligently to support IATSE Local 11 members, we also stand in solidarity with all the workers in other industries who remain on the frontlines, delivering vital services to our community and fighting the COVID-19 virus on all our behalves.

As such, it is 100% necessary that we fulfill our social responsibility to stay home and minimize the spread of the virus. It is the best way to let this difficult moment in our industry, and our nation, pass as soon as possible, and with the smallest toll.

IATSE Local 11 will continue to provide important updates to members, and we encourage you to stay informed and appraised as the situation transforms.

Entertainment Worker Relief Petition

Tell Congress to include displaced entertainment workers in relief package

*Please note that personal info is used to match your letter to the proper congress representatives.*

As social distancing measures are enacted and productions are cancelled across all sectors of the entertainment industry, the COVID-19 situation has become so dire for entertainment workers that it requires decisive action from the federal government. Entertainment gig workers who expected to work for a day, week, month, or season on a production are finding themselves without planned wages and benefits.

The bipartisan Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R. 6201) is a good start to providing relief to workers, however, the provisions on the table for emergency paid leave benefits won’t apply to displaced entertainment workers because of the requirements for days worked on a job to qualify.

The unique nature of the entertainment industry means that many of the creative professionals may not work every day, or even every month. Existing paid leave programs are by and large not applicable to this workforce. Entertainment workers depend on the income from each project they book to ensure they can support themselves and can qualify to participate in our collectively bargained health plans. Rules designed specifically for the traditional single employer relationship, or even for multi-employer work in the construction industry are likely to exclude our members, and entertainment freelancers in general.

Entertainment workers shouldn’t be collateral damage in the fight against COVID-19. We need a special Emergency Coronavirus Economic Support Benefit geared to include workers who have a bona fide, good faith offer to work that gets canceled due to the coronavirus.
