The Union Behind The Curtain At the Shows You Love
History
Local 18 Milwaukee, Wisconsin was chartered in the National Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees on July 20, 1894. Just over eight years later, on July 24, 1902, it was chartered as a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees of the United States and Canada.
On May 2, 1903 IATSE Local 18 was duly admitted to representation in the Wisconsin Federation of Labor and on July 23, 1958 it was admitted to the Wisconsin AFL-CIO.
ABOUT THE IATSE
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada was founded in 1893 when representatives of stagehands working in eleven cities met in New York and pledged to support each other’s efforts to establish fair wages and working conditions for their members. Our union has evolved over the succeeding 123 years to embrace the development of new entertainment mediums, craft expansion, technological innovation and geographic growth.
Today the IATSE is the largest union representing workers in the entertainment industry. Our members work in all forms of live theater, motion picture and television production, trade shows and exhibitions, television broadcasting, and concerts as well as the equipment and construction shops that support all these areas of the entertainment industry. We represent virtually all the behind the scenes workers in crafts ranging from motion picture animator to theater usher.
During a period when private sector union membership has been in sharp decline the IATSE has continued to grow. In 2016, our membership reached over 130,000. This growth is attributable to our willingness to adapt our structure to protect our traditional jurisdiction and accommodate new crafts. But that alone is insufficient. The IATSE has maintained and enhanced its position in the vanguard of the entertainment industry through effective rank and file empowerment, political engagement, and our dedication to grass roots organizing. On both the International and local union levels, the motivating principle of the IATSE is to represent every worker employed in our crafts.
