in response to raids and arrests that targeted New York’s LGBTQ+ community. The June 2019 New York Pride March, which took place as part of the World Pride festivities covered 2.5 miles of Manhattan, included roughly 150,000 marches and drew an overall crowd of millions. The IATSE was among the groups participating. President Loeb marched alongside a diverse IATSE contingent of over 320 members and their families and friends from all over North America, which included members of Locals One, 4, 52, 161, 477, 600, 631, 700, 751, 764, 798, USA829, 835, 871, 884, and ATPAM. The event also marked the first public appearance of the IATSE Pride Committee since the committee was established. On this momentous occasion, marchers signed the New York Pride March banner created by USA829 members that the IATSE contingent marched behind. At the conclusion of the report, the banner was presented to President Loeb as a token of thanks for the Alliance’s support of the IATSE LGBTQ+ community and its participation in World Pride and the 2019 New York Pride March. Those reporting also gave special thanks to all individuals and Locals that contributed to the IATSE’s participation in this historic event. President Loeb proudly accepted the march banner and, in doing so, thanked everyone involved in making the IATSE’s participation in the 2019 New York Pride March a success. LOCAL NO. 8, PHILADELPHIA, PA Re: Pennsylvania Convention Center Vice President Michael J. Barnes, International Representative Daniel Little, Local 8 Officers Joseph Baliski, Recording Secretary, and Phillip Effinger, Associate Business Agent reported on the extension of the agreement covering Local 8’s work at the Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC). The PCC opened in 1993 and after renovations in 1995 and 2006 has a footprint of one million square feet. During that time, there existed operational issues which were resolved in 2004 through the negotiation of a Customer Satisfaction Agreement (CSA) between the PCC and six participating unions that worked in the Convention Center, including Local 8. While the jurisdictional inter-union disputes amongst the six unions at the PCC decreased significantly after the negotiation of the 2004 CSA, customer complaints and the overall reputation of the Center continued to suffer until 2013 setting the stage for contentious negotiations in 2014. Two of the unions—the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters—refused to sign the CSA. Those unions filed multi-jurisdictional litigation against the PCC Authority. Significant changes were made to the CSA as a result of the 2014 negotiations, including a redistribution of trade show work among the four remaining unions—IATSE, IBEW, Laborers and Riggers. Immediately after the signing of the 2014 agreement, public perception began to change from negative to positive. Several large trade shows have returned to Philadelphia and the PCC. The good reports about the turnaround at the PCC led to union work for the Papal Visit in 2015, the Democratic National Convention in 2016, and the NFL Draft in 2017. Vice President Michael J. Barnes, International Representative Daniel Little, Local 8 Officers Joseph Baliski, Recording Secretary, and Phillip Effinger, Associate Business Agent reported on the Pennsylvania Convention Center. 102 OFFICIAL BULLETIN
The CSA extension will not expire until 2029. It provides annual wage and benefit fund contributions to workers represented by the Local, as well as the Creation of a Safety, Training, and Marketing jointly administered trust fund. Vice President Barnes reported that the impact of this agreement for the unions at the PCC cannot be overstated. The CSA provides a foundation that will give Local 8 stability to continue to grow and provide jobs that allow members to pay their bills, maintain their health insurance, finance their retirement, fund their training programs, and sustain their political action efforts. The success of the IATSE over the last five years and the success of the PCC and hospitality industry in Philadelphia are related. Convention bookings have risen more than three hundred percent. Economic studies put the impact of the 2014 CSA at close to $3.0 billion for Philadelphia; $1.1 billion in 2015 alone. Local 8 has undergone a fifty-four percent growth in membership over the last five-year period. To keep pace with its expanded jurisdiction, the Local began mining workers from the nonrepresented stagehands in the regional theaters, rock and roll clubs and hotel A.V. crews. Through the organizing and communication techniques provided by the International, Local 8 successfully organized workers at the, Bristol Riverside Theater, Media Theater, Philadelphia Theater Company, Wilma Theater, Tower Theater, Theater of the Living Arts, Filmore East, The Met and over twenty hotels under PSAV management. With tremendous assistance from the International’s training curriculums, Local 8 has developed a sophisticated ongoing training program to train the Philadelphia workforce. In 2018 alone, Local 8 in coordination with the IATSE-TTF scheduled forty-five courses for 1013 attendees providing 258 industry recognized certificates. The Local competed above its weight class using community activism and social media to increase the IATSE profile. The IATSE Four Pillars—Leadership, Skills and Safety, Activism and Communication—were used extensively throughout Local 8’s strategic plan. Vice President Barnes expressed his appreciation to President Loeb and the International, stating that President Loeb’s vision to make training, political action, activism, communication and organizing Union priorities directly led to Local 8’s Growth and Strength. President Loeb observed that Local 8 is an excellent example of external and internal organizing success, forever changing the face of the Local. He commended the Local for taking advantage of all the training offered by the International, thereby not only helping individual members but also raising the Local’s reputation and profile as a leader in a dynamic, skilled, educated, active, and involved membership. LOCAL NO. 193, PEORIA, IL Re: Bloomington Center At the request of Local 193 Business Manager Kevin Paxton, President Loeb assigned Vice President Craig Carlson to assist the Local in its negotiations at Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA), which was organized in 2014 with help from the International. After meeting with the employer and presenting proposals, the collective bargaining parties reached agreement on a successor contract that includes wage increases, improved working conditions and additional holiday. Local 193 ratified the agreement. Vice President Carlson expressed his appreciation to President Loeb for the opportunity to assist Local 193 and for consistently providing leadership training, annual seminars and regular classes that prepare Representatives and staff for their assignments. On behalf of Local 193, Vice President Carlson extended their heartfelt thanks to President Loeb. President Loeb thanked Vice President Carlson for his diligence. He commended the Local for a solid, successor collective bargaining agreement at the BCPA. LOCAL NO. 217, ROCKFORD, IL Re: SMG BMO Arena and Coronado Theatre At the request of Local 217 for assistance with its negotiations for the BMO Harris Arena and the Coronado Theatre in Rockford Illinois, President Loeb assigned Vice President Craig Carlson. SMG operates both venues on behalf of the Rockford Metropolitan Exposition Auditorium and Office Building Authority. After several internal discussions, the Local formulated a prioritized list of proposals for the BMO-Coronado negotiation with SMG. After negotiations, the parties reached a three-year agreement including wage increases, improvements in working conditions and jurisdiction. The Local 217 membership ratified the agreements. They send their gratitude to President Loeb for his support in making THIRD QUARTER 2019 103
