Joining IATSE Local 478 is a multi-step process that will take some time to complete. Upon meeting the necessary requirements needed to complete the application process, you must then be approved by the membership of Local 478 and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, its Territories and Canada. In addition to the application process, there is an initiation fee of $550.00 and the quarterly dues are $55.00, which applies regardless of your employment status. Furthermore, when working on a production, you are obliged to pay 3% of your gross wages to the Local. When a member fails to meet his/her financial obligations to the Local they face expulsion. In the event of an expulsion, quarterly dues still accrue and a $200.00 reinstatement fee is applied should an expelled individual wish to be reinstated and be deemed in "good standing". There are things that you should consider carefully before applying to the Local. First, we are not a hiring hall. You will be responsible for finding work for yourself. Our responsibility is to protect you once you are working. We also do not operate by a seniority system. However, we provide contact information to our members on all known projects that we are aware of in our jurisdiction. Second, once you join the Local, you will be a life-long member. Please make sure you understand the commitment of your request.
*******************************************************************************************************
***Transfers from another IATSE Local the following conditions apply****
1) The application fee is $450.00 instead of $550.00
2) The 18 months residency will be put aside so you may submit your complete application (start with clicking on Application 1st part-Constitution Wording) with the Local to be presented at the next membership meeting. Your application will be brought before the membership and the members of the Local may decide to waive or enforce the 18 month residency requirement. An affirmative majority must vote for the waiver. If they do not waive on your behalf then we will give you a full refund and you may reapply once you have satisfied the residency requirement.
