So I worked all last week for Rockforce through IATSE LOCAL 7 at the junkyard. It's Thursday morning and I still have not gotten paid. Does anybody have any experience with first checks through rockforce or a general timeline? Any help is appreciated
Curious where people in IATSE land on this. If you’re learning it, where are you learning from? Do you think locals will eventually offer training around AI tools, or is the goal to push back against it altogether?
Hello, I'm Walter, 22y/o, with experience in live events logistics ,
I've worked with big productions in Europe, and I want to do the switch to rigging.
what steps can I take in order to get into this area of work, how should I start?

Hi. I'm considering applying for a card with one of the Locals I've worked with in the 3 years I've done stagehand work. Primarily wanting to join for both more consistent work and to learn more (both in the job / tasks and the union inter workings).
However, the local I'm looking into is not small, but smaller. We're in NC and primarily we work with a theater for broadway tours with this local, occasionally other small jobs. But we love the people and the team and would prefer this local over others we've done work with.
My question is: what would be the benefits to getting a card vs staying an overhire? Not looking to tour, just stay local. Would we likely get more work or stay about the same?
Thanks everyone!
Hey All!
Relatively new (to NYC) freelance electrician here. My usual call lists are getting pretty dry and I've got some time off for the first time in a while. I know summer tends to be slow, is it worth it going to the hall on my off days over the next few weeks?
Thanks!
Got offered a better paying and longer run that over laps three days I have with another gig. I’m giving more than a weeks notice and have found a cover. How do you hush handle this kind of thing?
What skills do you look for or wish your A2s had on tour?
Not just standard wireless coordination skills, but other technical skills.
I'm already an A2 for a regional 1500 cap theater and feel good about my abilities, but I want to spend my summer updating my skills so I'm worth more.
