The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, or I.A.T.S.E., (Full name: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada) is a labor union. Originally chartered by the American Federation of Labor as the National Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes in 1893, its name has evolved over the course of 110 years of geographic and craft expansion as well as technological advancement. The current title, adopted in 1995, more accurately reflects the full scope of activities in the entertainment industry.
IATSE and the Employer contend that there is reasonable cause to believe that Section 8(b)(4)(D) of the Act has been violated because both IATSE and Carpenters claim the work in dispute, and IATSE threatened the Employer that it would strike and picket the Employer if it assigned the disputed work to employees represented by Carpenters.
IATSE and the Employer argue that the work in dispute should be awarded to IATSE-represented employees based on the following factors: the Employer’s preference and past practice, area and industry practice, the skills of employees represented by IATSE, and the economy and efficiency of the Employer’s operations.
IATSE requests that the Board issue a broad award to employees represented by it covering all of the disputed work performed by Shepard within the geographic area set forth in the Carpenters’ collective-bargaining agreement with Shepard.
