SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 3
|
|
|
WHEREAS, For 125 years, the International Alliance of |
|
|
Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 76, has played a crucial role |
|
|
in supporting and advocating for the rights of skilled laborers |
|
|
in San Antonio's entertainment industry; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1893, the International Alliance of |
|
|
Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) represents behind-the-scenes |
|
|
professionals, including technicians, designers, and stagehands, |
|
|
in a broad spectrum of trades; the alliance encompasses more than |
|
|
340 local unions and over 168,000 workers, who bring their |
|
|
invaluable technical expertise to bear in countless stage, film, |
|
|
and television productions as well as trade shows and exhibitions |
|
|
across the United States and Canada; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Driven by their pride in their craft and their |
|
|
commitment to fairness and dignity in the workplace, the members |
|
|
of IATSE Local 76 have built and sustained the success of their |
|
|
chapter for well over a century; the chapter's service area |
|
|
includes such celebrated local cultural venues as the Joci Straus |
|
|
Performing Arts Center, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, |
|
|
the AT&T Center, and the Witte Museum, and its support for its |
|
|
members extends to an array of payroll, organizational, and |
|
|
online resources; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, IATSE Local 76 has served as a vital force for |
|
|
equity in entertainment, giving voice and power to the |
|
|
often-invisible professionals who bring productions to life in |
|
|
the Alamo City, and the chapter and its hardworking members are |
|
|
indeed worthy of recognition on this special milestone; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby honor the International |
|
|
Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 76, on its 125th |
|
|
anniversary and extend to all those affiliated with the chapter |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for IATSE Local 76 as an expression of high regard from |
|
|
the Texas Senate. |
