Community Outreach at Valley College

On January 25, more than 200 attendees came to Los Angeles Valley College to learn about unions and jobs in the motion picture and television industry.

Hosted by Assembly member Adrin Nazarian (California 46th Assembly District) with panelists from Local 695, Property Local 44, Lighting Technicians Local 728, Script Supervisors Local 871 and Costume Designers Local 892.

The main presentation was by Laurence Abrams, 695’s Education & Communications Director, giving students a foundational understanding of Labor history, the development of unions and why labor unions are good for the country’s economy. At the conclusion of the evening, Laurence was joined by Production Mixer and Board member Steve Nelson answering questions with the attendees about our Local 695 crafts and how to get into the industry.

This event was part of a growing effort by IATSE Locals to reach out to surrounding communities, helping to develop diversity employment opportunities, as well as spread education and understanding about the role of unions in California’s huge entertainment economy.

Young Workers Committee: Save a Life Sunday

On Sunday, January 7, 2018, the Young Workers Committees of Local 695, 892 and 705 co-hosted a blood drive in partnership with the Red Cross. We would like to thank Local 80 for providing its space for a second year in a row, but most importantly, we thank all forty-eight donors whose generous gift helped save the lives of their fellow Angelinos.
