IATSE-PAC is the political action committee of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.  In a statement on January 26, 2010, International President Matthew D. Loeb said,

"We are facing enormous challenges in the year ahead, and it is vital that union members stay informed and active in the political landscape. It is critical for us to support candidates who are willing to vote for legislation that helps working families.  The IA PAC is a way for individuals to engage in that process."

Congress and the White House play important roles in the industries in which you and other members of IATSE locals work. But for too long, major entertainment industry corporations have been the only contributors to candidates for federal offices. These corporations have established federal political action committees ["PAC's"] which give millions of dollars to candidates for Congress and the White House. Is it any wonder that Congress pays more attention to these corporations than it does to working people like you? Your voice has not been heard. IATSE's members must become more involved in shaping the federal legislative and administrative agenda. The time has come when the concerns and interests of IATSE members must also be heard and considered by federal lawmakers. But labor unions (like corporations) cannot contribute to the campaigns of candidates for federal office. Most prominent labor organizations have established PAC's which may make voluntary campaign contributions to federal candidates and seek contributions to the PAC from union members. To give you a voice in Washington, the IATSE has established the IATSE Political Action Committee ("IATSE-PAC"), a federal political action committee designed to support candidates for federal office who promote the interests of working men and women.

Members of the IATSE locals, and their families, may contribute to the IATSE-PAC. All contributions to the IATSE-PAC are voluntary, and are not tax-deductible. The amount contributed, or the decision not to contribute, will not be the basis for the IATSE or any of its locals to benefit or disadvantage the member or his/her family. Neither the IATSE nor any of its locals will retaliate against a member for deciding not to contribute, or based upon the amount of the contribution. Contribution amounts are suggestions only, and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amount. A person's contribution to the IATSE-PAC may not exceed $5,000.00 per year. Contributors must be United States citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States. The IATSE-PAC may not accept contributions from corporate accounts.
