Loeb issued the following statement regarding the results of the 2024 U.S. Elections:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile this election did not deliver the outcomes we wanted, Union members and IATSE members did our part, and we should be proud of our efforts. Our union organized the most comprehensive electoral engagement campaign in our history, and union members across the country overwhelmingly supported pro-labor candidates and policies. Early returns show that union voters were one of the few groups that did not shift toward the President-elect and anti-worker forces \u2014 IATSE members held the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past 130 years, IATSE has seen wars, economic downturns, and hostile administrations come and go, and we will endure this as well. We will continue to relentlessly advocate for fair and just workplaces, and fight to provide security and prosperity for every worker in entertainment, regardless of the political climate. We will not waiver from this mission, and we will not back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make no mistake, over the next four years our union and our industry will face tremendous challenges. The next four years will be about defending against political attempts to dismantle the rights won over the last century, as well as defending against attempts to further slant the economy towards billionaires and international corporations at the expense of working class Americans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now is not the time to be discouraged. Strength in numbers \u2014 union strength \u2014 is the best tool we have for defending our rights and collective well-being. If we can\u2019t depend on our nation\u2019s laws to ensure workers have access to fair pay, sustainable benefits, and workplace protections \u2014 then we must enshrine them in our contracts. Through collective bargaining, we can secure pay, benefits, and protections that corporate-backed policies may undermine. Solidarity is our only path forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IATSE International President Matthew D.
