Teamsters, IATSE up reality efforts

Variety: The two below-the-line unions repping most film and TV industry crews -- the Intl. Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Intl. Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees -- are ramping up their joint organizing efforts in the reality TV arena. "We are putting a lot of effort into reality because there's so much non-union work being done," said Mike Miller, IATSE's motion picture chief. "It really runs the gamut from shows that let us in the front door to shows that we have to push on."
