IATSE statement:

tl;dr - the Teamsters love this. IATSE likes it, but wants to make sure their Canadian membership isn't hurt.
- detaro 2y agoThe cynic in me wonders what will happen once the first billionaire whines to Trump how the unions make returning movies to the US so expensive.
- viraptor 2y agoI was asking about the other direction. Sure it's convenient for IATSE right now, but is Trump thinking about them at all or are they going to be thrown under the bus with the next change/decision?
