The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada (IATSE) was founded in 1893 when representatives of stagehands working in eleven cities met in New York and pledged to support each others’ efforts to establish fair wages and working conditions for their members.
International IATSE
Today, we work in all forms of live theater, motion picture and television production, trade shows and exhibitions, television broadcasting, and concerts as well as the equipment and construction shops that support all these areas of the entertainment industry.
​
We are more than 168,000 workers strong in virtually all arts, media, and entertainment crafts, and our mission is to improve all entertainment workers’ lives both inside and outside the workplace.

Contributions Portal and Language
The portal was developed to support your work at your local union and help us to collect contributions from employers. Every local that has agreements where contributions are made to the TTF will receive a portal account where they can look up the contributions being made by their employer.
In the short time the portal has been available, several locals have been able to find employers that have not been making their obligatory contributions. Having this information allows us to move forward and collect the funds.
Local Union Secretary-Treasurers and/or Business Agents can email us at portal@iatsettf.org and we can send you your portal account information.
The TTF has new and simpler language to bargain into your agreements. We created a resource page to use that has all the information you need.
If you need help presenting the value of the TTF to your employers when asking for new or increased contributions, are curious about other ways you can help support the TTF’s efforts to increase employer contributions, or have other questions pertaining to contributions portal, please email me at director@iatsetrainingtrust.org so we can talk further.
