There are many benefits and privileges available to Local One members. If you are interested contact Local one’s Organizer, John Lott, at the Union Hall, 21. It is for people that have determined that a career in the entertainment industry in NYC is their life’s goal and will be willing to fight for it. If you want to organize your nonunion employer, it will require that you have a firm belief in unionism, a passion for fairness and equity in your workplace and hope to secure a better life for you, your family and your co-workers.
Local One is committed to bringing the legal protections that a union contract gives to any stagehand or technician that requests it. While going from venue to venue, you will be able to see first hand the scope and breathe of Local One’s jurisdiction.Ī less common method for gaining membership is the much more difficult organizational effort. To aid in this, Local One has established a Replacement Room. While it can seem daunting, the vast majority of our current members have gained membership in this manner. To get on the Organizational List requires that you must earn at least $35,000 per year for three consecutive years in employment with employers who have collective bargaining agreements with Local One. If you can demonstrate that you have the skills and work ethic needed in today’s highly competitive work environment on a consistent basis, you will earn membership.
None of the Local One contracts are closed shop contracts, which means anyone who is capable of doing the work that is demanded of a qualified stagehand or technician is able to get hired. The Organizational List is our means for those more experienced stagehands and technicians to get membership in the greatest entertainment local in the United States.
