From the @aflcio -

Today is about appreciating the care, sacrifices and support mothers provide their families every day.

We thank you and we’ll keep fighting for all working mothers so they have paid leave, equitable care and good union jobs.

Happy Mother’s Day from America’s unions! ❤️

As mail voting begins for the June primary election in California, members, friends and allies of #adg800 should know that the @iatse has endorsed Tom Steyer for Governor.

Here's why: of all the candidates for governor, Steyer:

1) Has the strongest position on future film and television tax credit policy, both on the state and federal level.
2) Has the strongest position on setting guardrails for the use of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace.
3) Is the most vocal candidate clearly in favor of a single-payer healthcare system.

"As Governor, I will support policies that not only protect jobs, but also ensure that Hollywood remains a place where independent media and creators are nurtured, celebrated, and rewarded.” - Tom Steyer

#adg800 and @iatse members please note we are now ON STRIKE against CoChemelon: The Melon Patch, a live-action spin-off of the union-made animated series.

Rather than provide fair wages and benefits to the crew the producer is trying to hire scabs for the production that’s shooting in Sun Valley, Calif.

This beautiful color print is from “The Jewel City in Natural Colours,” an official publication of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which was held in San Francisco in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. Extending from Fort Mason well into the Presidio, the exposition featured dozens of elaborate, specially-built pavilions and other buildings, almost all of which were demolished when it was over. This image shows the Tower of Jewels and the Italian Towers, which were illuminated at night “by an entirely new system called flood lights.”

Note to all: Barbara Hall, our #adg800 Archivist, passed away during 2025. Barbara's warmth, dedication, and spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege to know her. She is deeply missed, and in her honor we are reposting some of her "Archive Item of the Week" selections from our weekly member newsletters.

From the @iatse -

IATSE is condemning management of the Kennedy Center, alleging the Center is violating its contract and laying off union workers without meeting its legal obligation to bargain.

During bargaining last week, the Kennedy Center confirmed it has laid off or terminated all workers in its Instant Charge and Group Sales and Subscription departments, effective April 27, more than two months before the temporary closure begins. Management also confirmed it will not replace the work.

“This is not a normal closure-related layoff,” said International President Matthew D. Loeb. “The Kennedy Center appears to be using a temporary closure as cover to permanently eliminate union jobs in violation of its contract and federal labor law.”

What an amazing May Day march and rally as thousands of union members and allies took to the streets of Los Angeles today in the strongest show of unity in many years.

The @iatse was out in force, joining @thelafed and dozens of unions representing over 800,000 members in California. #adg800 was a big part of the effort!

Thanks to everyone who came out and made this day so inspirational. Happy May Day everyone!!

Give stuff - Get stuff! It's as simple as that at ADGgreen's upcoming Share Fair. Join fellow IATSE members in reducing waste and refreshing your old items. Have clothes that you no longer wear? Too many books taking up space on your shelves? Plant clippings to spare? Keep them out of the landfill and trade them at the Share Fair instead! Participants can also bring E-waste for responsible collection, as well as small electronics/appliances that are in need of repair. Come learn about waste reduction, chat with some of our favorite eco-friendly vendors, and hang out with your IA kin!

Art Directors Hans Dreier and Ernst Fegté pulled out all the stops when designing the Art Deco interiors for Easy Living (1937), a romantic comedy about a working girl who is mistaken for a millionaire’s mistress. This display in an exclusive hat shop, for instance, is only seen for a moment on screen, but captures perfectly the world of the super-rich and their frivolous accessories. The classic film, which was directed by former Art Director Mitchell Leisen, also features one of the best Hollywood recreations of a New York City Automat.

#adg800 and @iatse members please note we are currently ON STRIKE against a Panda Express commercial produced by Good Behavior. The company shutdown the 30-person production today instead of recognizing the crew’s right to collectively bargain for fair wages and industry-standard benefits.
