IATSE president Matthew Loeb is urging his members to get out and vote in the upcoming midterm elections and to contribute to the union’s political action committee, which overwhelmingly supports Democratic candidates for federal office.

And as we watch rights being stripped away, we must stand together. The IATSE is fully committed to defending reproductive healthcare and our fundamental freedoms. I call upon all IATSE Locals and members to join me in the
