Bill > SR3

This resolution honors the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), Local 76, on its 125th anniversary, recognizing the organization's significant contributions to the entertainment industry in San Antonio. Founded in 1893, IATSE is a large labor union representing over 168,000 behind-the-scenes professionals such as technicians, designers, and stagehands across the United States and Canada. The resolution highlights Local 76's important role in supporting skilled laborers, advocating for workplace fairness and dignity, and providing essential technical expertise to various cultural venues including the Joci Straus Performing Arts Center, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, the AT&T Center, and the Witte Museum. By acknowledging the chapter's century-long commitment to equity in entertainment and its support for often-invisible professionals who bring productions to life, the Texas Senate formally recognizes IATSE Local 76's achievements and extends best wishes for its future. As a final gesture, an official copy of the resolution will be prepared for the local union as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
