International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Endorses Hillary Clinton For President

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) has announced its endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president of the United States.

"Based on her long record of fighting for workers' rights and working families," states the union's web site," the IATSE General Executive Board voted unanimously to endorse the former U.S. Secretary of State on Monday, January 11th.

"Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that reached out to discuss issues affecting members of the IATSE," said IATSE International President Matthew Loeb. "She spent her valuable time discussing our unique issues and challenges with me, demonstrating not just her support of workers in general, but also that she is concerned with the well-being of members of the IATSE."

IATSE represents more than 125,000 workers in entertainment throughout the U.S. and Canada. Loeb looks forward to working with Clinton on digital piracy, workers' rights, misclassification of workers, and other issues affecting behind-the-scenes entertainment workers.
