As the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), we are 170,000+ behind the scenes entertainment workers strong, working in live events, motion picture and television production, broadcast, trade shows, and more throughout the US and Canada.
We stand together to provide strong representation and win better wages, training, benefits and overall working conditions.
The 2023 IATSE Member Census is a critical initiative to gain accurate, anonymized, aggregated, and up to date statistics regarding our membership across the United States and Canada.
The insights gained from the Member Census will be used to empower our union to better advocate for members’ rights and interests, and ensure future actions reflect the union’s membership.
