Campaign H.Q.
MANY CRAFTS, ONE LOCAL
Every craft in Hollywood deserves Union representation.
Since Summer 2025, IATSE Local 871 members have launched two organizing campaigns – the Accountants & Showrunner’s Assistants. Member-driven campaigns like these are how entertainment workers have secured benefits and strong worker protections from the Studios.
Do you work in a craft that’s lacking contract representation, but need the protection that comes from collective action? The IATSE Local 871 Organizing Campaign H.Q. is a great place to get started.
Contact us today if you work in Hollywood and are ready to get organized!

FIGHTING FOR THE FUTURE
When we bargain on our own against the employer, they have all the power. When we engage in collective bargaining, we balance the scales and make our priorities clear.
Workers in Hollywood deserve full Union benefits, fair pay for all, regular raises, enough staff to get the job done, and solidarity!
That’s what we fight for in our campaigns. Click one of the buttons below to learn more about our current campaigns.
