Film Tax Credit

Moving Forward Dear Sisters and Brothers,

I’ll start with an update on the negotiations on the Basic Agreement. As was previously reported, we began negotiations the first week of April. After

several days of meetings with the employers, the negotiations were put on hold. The reason for this is that after exchanging proposals, it was apparent that we were far

apart on the issues concerning the quality of life issues that we had identified as priorities, as well as ongoing funding for the Pension and Health Plans. This shouldn’t be construed to mean that we had reached the edge of the cliff. Rather it was recognized that since the Agreement doesn’t expire till July 31, there is no need to allow things to become contentious and cause either side to take positions that create road blocks to a fair and equitable agreement.

We are scheduled to go back to the bargaining table in May. As things progress we will be sending notices via email and postings on the Local 80 Website.

Your Union is committed to achieving the goal of maintaining and improving the working standards, Health insurance that our families depend on, as well as ensuring that when the time comes, each of us can retire with security and dignity.

In addition to negotiations, we are engaged in the effort to extend the current Film and Television Tax Credit program. This has been the most significant legislation our members have seen. The current program has demonstrated that when done thoughtfully, tax credits can benefit not only the companies that receive them, but also those who make their living in the industry. Also, it is good public policy.

There are several bills in the legislature to extend the current program, two of which we are supporting.

Assembly Bill 1734 authored by Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon, and Senate Bill 951 authored by Senator Holly Mitchell.

The way in which our tax credit program is designed makes it distinguishable for any other in California. Every other tax credit program in the state gives a credit up front with the hope that the credit will spur the respective employers to hire and generate a certain amount of economic activity.

What makes our program so different is that a company applies for the credit and the credit is awarded based on several factors. The primary factor is the estimated amount of wages that will be spent on the technicians and craftspeople employed on that production in relation to the budget. The higher the ratio, the higher on the list that production is in receiving the credit. This ensures that those production applying for the credit will employ the most members. (As a side note, the idea of this method was the brain child of California State Senator Kevin de León who is now running, with Labor’s endorsement, for US Senate).

the eightynews Issue 271

Although the program has been wildly successful, getting the extension through the legislature is not a given and takes a lot of work. Due to term limits, approximately 40% of those in the current legislature were not in office when the program was passed and signed by the Governor. We have been working hard to educate the legislature on the importance of the program, not only the those of us in the industry, but for the entire California economy.

The effort has involved trips to the Capitol to meet with legislators and let them know how successful the credit has been. As we did in our last campaign, we are using photos and videos of our members to put a face on the program. It is one thing to talk about numbers. We can talk all day long about the economic activity that takes place and of the number of jobs that have returned. But, at the end of the day, these are just numbers. We have found that it is much more powerful when the legislators actually see who is benefiting from the program.

I want to take this opportunity to thank brother Chris Hager for applying his artistic talents in capturing

the importance of the program in the images of our members.

I would also like to acknowledge the help of brothers Mark Parsons, Rick Kelly, and the students from Hollywood CPR. Without their help we would not have been able to accomplish what we did.

To date, we have had 1 committee hearing in the Assembly and 1 in the Senate. Our respective Bills passed out of both committees with only Senator Moorlach, Republican, Cota Mesa voting no.

In the Assembly, we received a tremendous amount of support from Assembly members Adrin Nazarian and Laura Friedman. Assembly member Nazarian, who represents the Sherman Oaks area, has a long history of supporting not only this program, but issues that are important to our members.

You can expect to receive more communications soon. We will be sending out letters of support for you to sign and return to the local. We have a goal of compiling thousands of letters from our members, our family members and friends expressing support that we can personally deliver to the members of the legislature.

In solidarity, Thom Davis

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

The following proposed amendment to Local 80’s Constitution will be read for the third time at the May General Meeting, and will then be open for discussion, debate and secret ballot vote under New Business:

Response: A union may or may not allow their employees to hold an office in the union. A prohibition restricting a member in good standing from serving the local as both an employee and an officer takes away the rest of the memberships’ choices for who represents them.

NOTICE

This is to notify the membership of Local 80 that when the motion to adopt the above proposed Amendment to the Local 80 Constitution is made and seconded, the following motion will be made:

“If the [above] Amendment to the Local 80 Constitution is adopted by the members and approved by the International per the Local 80 Constitution and the International Constitution, the [above] Amendment will then take effect when officers are sworn in following the General Election of Officers in 2019, and not before."

Letter to the Editor

Can We All Learn Respect From a Game Brothers and Sisters

20 years ago I was involved in a large, brutal brawl. Somebody had stolen something from a friend of mine. I attacked the guy who stole from my friend by slamming him to the ground as hard as I could. As a result of my actions my friend recovered what was his. While I held the thief down for a moment a friend of his ran towards us and hit me in the head with his knee.

When the smoke cleared, me and my friends had emerged from the brawl victorious but we were bloodied and bruised. I had a black eye, bloody nose, ruptured eardrum, and a possible concussion. A few minutes afterwards I stood face to face with the man that I had attacked and his friend who had done considerable damage to my face. Instead of renewing hostilities we exchanged handshakes, verbal pleasantries, and they happily bought me beers.

This was no ordinary brawl, this my introduction to the sport of rugby. The other two gentlemen were members of the opposing team. For 80 minutes 2 teams of rugby players tried to beat the hell out of each other with maximum hostility. In a sport as violent as rugby, players sometimes lose their tempers and violate the rules of the game. When this happens the player on the receiving end of the foul play is rightfully angry towards the transgressors. When the referee blows his whistle to signal the end of the game, feelings of animosity quickly subside and players who moments before were locked in battle are now cheerful friends laughing at their misdeeds of the game and sharing a few cold beers to celebrate the joy of participating in such a fun game.

I’m always amazed at how fast bitter rivals in the game can so quickly change gears into happy comrades celebrating the game we love. It happens after every game because as players who love our sport, we always respect our opponents. Respect for all of those involved in the game is what makes the sport so special.

Stepping onto the field knowing that others

are there to hit you as hard as they can as often as they can, takes some courage. All players have this courage which is why we have a mutual respect for each other.

In 20 years and hundreds of games I never felt any lack of respect from my teammates or opponents, but I have felt a deep lack of respect from someone I refer to as a brother. Those of us in Local 80 don’t call each other colleagues, or coworkers. We refer to each other as brothers and sisters in order to maintain unity in our Local. Unfortunately, I have been on the wrong end of deep disrespect by a union “brother”. This brother of ours chose to publicly express his political opinion on social media as is his right to do so. By making his opinion public he is inviting consenting and dissenting opinions including mine. Unfortunately, this brother did not, and still does not tolerate differing opinions. The end result of our political debate was his implication that I am a racist. I found his assertion of racism to be sad but ridiculous so I did nothing about it. For the most part I stayed quiet about this until last week when he repeated this offensive behavior towards another Local 80 brother.

There are no union regulations which allow me or any other brother or sister of our local to take punitive action against this person. All I can do is request that we all go to the greatest lengths possible to treat each with common courtesy and respect. If you are so angered by the differing opinions of others then perhaps you should stay out of the arena of public debate and keep your opinion to yourself. If you feel that you must slander others you should have the courage to make accusations about others in their presence so that you can make yourself accountable for your words and actions. Nobody respects those who stab their brothers and sisters in the back from the safety of their computer keyboard. Calling everybody you disagree with a racist is reprehensible.

Summer is almost here and with it hot, dry and sometimes wind-swept days of work. Hot days can be a bit tricky when out on location. I could always tell when I was cold, but sunburns sort of crept up on me. I could always tell when I was hungry, but never thought about de-hydration. I found that if I were thirsty I was already dehydrated and if my skin was warm I was probably sunburned already. Once again, I found myself not dressed for the occasion.

The second day out in the elements I usually would find myself not feeling well. So, I started to keep gear that would protect me from the elements. A wide brimmed hat to cover my head, shirts that are SPF rated, and I would have to stay diligent about hydration. I also learned to keep a jacket handy even on hot days. I had a day that started out hot and wound up in Apple Valley, at night, with nothing but a long-sleeved shirt to keep me warm. So of course, the temperature dropped, and I was freezing until wrap was called. It may seem like a lot of gear but for me, being prepared has become paramount the older I get. So being prepared isn’t just about tools.

My first lesson in dues collection has come and gone. It’s a flurry of mail, phone calls, and members coming up to the local to pay their dues. We have three clerks to service over 3300 members and man I watch them work their collective tails off. For the most part members have been cordial, nice, and understanding. When a member, who’s worked without paying his or her dues calls, they understand they were late and of course pay the fine for working without their dues being paid. They may not be happy about it, but they except responsibility for working without paying their dues and move on. And, remember the fine is not for being late on the dues. The fine is for working without paying your dues.

Well, as you could imagine, we had a few who don’t agree with the policy that was set forth long before my time. Most of the complaints started with blaming the clerks. You know the folks who service over 3300 members in the span of 10 days. There’s the, ”I called and left a message”, which of course when you check it’s hard to find anything the substantiates that. There is also the, “I told them to do X”. Well, when they were done did you check to make sure X was done? “No, I was too busy”, maybe the reply.

Got it, those darn clerks aren’t busy enough. Who did you talk to. “I can’t remember”, was another reply I received. Well, then, of course you still owe the fine for working without paying your dues.

First and foremost, dues are the members responsibility. Try to be more understanding now that you know these guys handle 3300 members in a very short window of time. Blaming the clerks will not garner anything. The board set the rules we just follow them.

For the members who choice is to yell, scream, curse, or mistreat the clerks. You can expect no quarter and a transfer to the Secretary/Treasurer voice mail. We are here to help service the membership not to be mistreated. We are charged with running your/our Local and it’s a lot to do. It happens fast, so please be courteous, have patience and know that the clerks are here to help.

Speaking of dues some members are not aware that there was a dues increase. The current dues are now $227. If possible please spread the word to other members who may not have time to read this. And, of course, dues need to be in by the beginning of the quarter, before you go to work. A simple phone call, to me, in the morning prior to work, can be enough to save you a fine.

As of the last floor election I noticed a drop off at the meeting, guys. And, while I certainly appreciate the love and support I sure wish I could find a way to keep you coming back. I want you to know your voice matters, and the direction we head can be spearheaded by you. There is an amendment to Local 80’s Constitution and Bylaws that will be voted on at the next General Membership meeting. It effects your Local either way you vote on it. But, vote you must. Don’t let this important decision be made by only the few. Garner all the facts, own a choice, make a choice. Don’t let this choice be made without you.

In closing, so far, it’s been an honor serving you. Tommy V.

From the Desk of the Secretary-Treasurer
