International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes

|
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, or I.A.T.S.E., (Full name: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada) is a labor union. Originally chartered by the American Federation of Labor as the National Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes in 1893, its name has evolved over the course of 110 years of geographic and craft expansion as well as technological advancement. The current title, adopted in 1995, more accurately reflects the full scope of activities in the entertainment industry.
It has a history with organized crime. In 1941, George Brown, former president of the union, and Willie Bioff, a labor racketeer, were convicted and imprisoned on charges of extortion.
