IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb, who also serves as President of UNI MEI commented, \u201cIn today&#8217;s multinational film and television production climate, supporting the labor standards of entertainment workers worldwide aligns with IATSE members\u2019 strategic interests. By standing in solidarity with unions like TEME, we can ensure fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for workers&#8217; rights are upheld universally, creating a level playing field and lifting up all professionals in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IATSE joins UNI MEI in urging PALTA to engage constructively with TEME to reach a fair settlement that acknowledges and respects the contributions of Finland&#8217;s film and TV production workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK, NY \u2014 The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) signed onto a UNI Media, Entertainment &amp; Arts (UNI MEI) letter standing in solidarity with the Trade Union [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[20],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
