IATSE President Congratulates ATPAM Amid Local's Negotiations with Broadway League

Matthew D. Loeb, International President of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees has released a statement congratulating ATPAM on their 30th anniversary together. 

Read the stagement below:

“I, along with the 170,000 kin of IATSE wish to extend a heartfelt congratulations to The Association of Theatrical Press Agents & Managers (ATPAM) on their upcoming 30th anniversary of joining our family. ATPAM has long been an integral part of our union, and we are proud to celebrate this milestone. Press agents, publicity and marketing specialists, company managers, as well as theater and facilities managers, all play a crucial role in the world of live theater. Your work is essential to the success of productions on and off Broadway, and across North America. Without you, the seats would be empty.

I have been following ATPAM’s negotiations with the Broadway League for over six months. I urge the Broadway League to give you a fair deal that recognizes your roles in broadening the reach of live theater and in growing this industry. The sisters, brothers and kin of IATSE may work under many crafts in live theater and beyond — but we have one fight, and one mission: achieving fairness for every worker in entertainment. When we fight, we fight together. All members of the IATSE family stand with you in solidarity during this time, and our union will support you in any way we can as negotiations continue.

Congratulations once again to ATPAM on their 30th anniversary. Here's to many more years of success, solidarity, and collaboration.”

— Matthew D. Loeb, International President of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees
