IATSE LOCAL 22: ONE CALL FOR ALL OF YOUR LABOR NEEDS

If you need labor for your production, call Business Agent Ryan Chavka: 202-269-0212

When you hire IATSE stagehands, you are hiring more than a labor force: you are hiring a workforce who arrive on time, with the right tools, and the technical skill and talents to make your production go smoothly.

IATSE Local 22 was chartered in 1894, and we have been supplying a professional live event workforce for over 130 years. 

• Production staff are key to production quality, which is the main element affecting bottom-line revenue. We are the source for the most highly trained, professional, experienced labor in the area.
• Retaining and attracting quality staff can be central to the efficiency of production budgets. Our contracts promote the employment of professional, talented, and technically capable staff with better wages, benefits, and work conditions.
• Any production business has to deal with constantly changing labor needs.  Any production’s labor force fluctuates, often without warning. Access to the Local 22 referral list as a condition under contract will supply crew with availability twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
