Theatrical Unions

Theatrical unions are organizations that represent workers in the performing arts, such as actors, stagehands, and directors. These unions advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, and better benefits. They negotiate contracts with employers (like theaters and production companies) to ensure members receive adequate pay and protections. Unions also offer training, resources, and support for their members. By joining a union, theatrical professionals can have a collective voice, enhancing their work environment and helping maintain industry standards. Examples of such unions include Actors' Equity Association and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
