Part of the entertainment industry or trade shows in Las Vegas but don't have a decent wage or benefits?

\n"); document.write("

There is a reason, its all about being part of the Union . Employers may talk sweet but when it comes to money its all about profits first and not about you or your family.

\n"); document.write("

Forming a union at your workplace gives you and your coworkers the power to stand up for your families, your futures and yourselves. Through a legal, binding contract it gives you a strong, collective voice with which to demand decent working conditions, with fair pay and benefits.

That's what IATSE Local 720 is all about: decent working conditions, better pay, strong benefits and dignity and respect on the job since 1939 in Las Vegas .

\n"); document.write("\n"); document.write("Did You Know? In states that have laws restricting workers' rights to form strong unions, the average pay for all workers is lower. So-called \"right to work\" for less laws that limit workers' rights to collectively bargain contracts (including wages and benefits) are a bad deal for all workers. In 2004, average pay in so-called \"right to work\" states was 14.4 percent lower than in states where workers have the freedom to form strong unions.
