Hillary Clinton just recieved the endorsement of the 125,000 member IATSE.
The IATSE represents “behind the scenes” workers in the theatrical and film industries.
This was a particularly easy endorsement for the union.
“Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that reached out to discuss issues affecting members of the IATSE,” said IATSE International President Matthew Loeb. “She spent her valuable time discussing our unique issues and challenges with me, demonstrating not just her support of workers in general, but also that she is concerned with the well-being of members of the IATSE.”
Clinton continues to enjoy the support of unions representing an overwhelming majority of unionized workers in the country. One issue in particular caught the attention of the IATSE.
In July 2015, IATSE International President Loeb released a statement in support of Clinton calling out companies that misclassified workers as independent contractors, an issue that directly affects workers represented by the IATSE.
Clinton continues her campaign working for every vote and reaching out to working people in every industry. Another union recognizes that she is the champion working people need in these turbulent times.
