If you are an IATSE member but not affiliated with Local 477, it is imperative to secure official authorization to operate within our jurisdiction. We recommend referring to The International Constitution and By-Laws, Article 21, Section 7, for comprehensive guidance on this matter. Even if you have received an invitation from a production company to work within our jurisdiction, it remains essential to secure written permission from us. To initiate this authorization process, please complete the form below. Additionally, you will need to submit the following document filled out:

These summaries of the Area Standards Agreement and the AICP Commercial Agreement provide a quick reference to key contract terms, including minimum wages, working conditions, travel, safety, and benefits for crew members. They are designed to help members easily understand and navigate essential contract provisions. However, these summaries are for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal advice or absolute fact—when in doubt, refer to the full contract language for official terms and conditions or reach out to Jim Roberts at (305) 625-8588; jimroberts@iatse477.org

Reporting your work is a crucial step in securing your rights and ensuring that you, as a member of I.A.T.S.E. Local 477, are fully covered and represented in the Florida entertainment industry. While Florida operates as a "right to work" state, which means that all workers, regardless of union membership, benefit from the collective bargaining agreements negotiated by the union, your active participation is essential. By reporting your work through this form, you actively contribute to the negotiating process and help safeguard your needs and interests. It ensures that the Local can effectively represent you, making certain that the terms and conditions of your employment align with the standards set by the collective bargaining agreements. Moreover, attaching a call sheet to your work report is immensely valuable. Call sheets provide vital information that assists us in organizing jobs and maintaining up-to-date contact details. This enables us to efficiently reach out when needed and enhances our ability to advocate for you effectively. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to Business Manager Jim Roberts at jroberts477.bm@gmail.com. Together, we stand united to protect your rights and advance our industry. Thank you for being an essential part of I.A.T.S.E. Local 477.
