Backstage technicians at the Five Flags Center in Dubuque, Iowa have voted unanimously for union representation with IATSE Stage Local 191 (Cedar Rapids, Waterloo & Dubuque, IA).
The unit of workers consists of all full-time, regular part-time, and on-call stagehands employed by ASM Global at its Dubuque, Iowa facility. The Five Flags Center is a multi-purpose facility in downtown Dubuque, which was named for the five flags of countries that have, at one point in time, flown over the city.
The venue facilities include a 4,000 seat arena for ticketed events and an over 700-seat historic theater which is also the home of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra.
