It’s a new year and we’re ready to support working people across the country—what about you? We’ll keep sharing ways you can protect union values. Take the pledge now that you’ll continue to take action.
Across the country, we are seeing a great resurgence in worker organizing. Workers are striking in record numbers and winning uphill battles against corporate giants. To keep this momentum going, we must continue to rise up and demand changes that will lift standards and rights for all workers, with no exclusions. Add your name to ask DHS to protect immigrant workers who take action to make our workplaces safe and fair.
Use Union Projectionists For Cleveland Film Festival
The men and women who operate the projectors at Playhouse Square are members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 160. They are masters of their profession, and their technical expertise is a point of great personal pride. Although these projectionists expected they would be employed for CIFF (as they are for every PlayhouseSquare event), they were notified that the film festival would be supplying their own, non-union workers to operate the equipment. Sign the petition to join us in calling for the use of union projectionists.

We’ve created three easy ways for our members to take action:
American democracy is under threat today. To save it, we need real democracy in the U.S. Senate. That means passing the John R.
