The Official page for Local 479: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts...

Local 479 is made up of motion picture professionals working together to obtain guaranteed minimum working conditions, to maintain health insurance coverage for themselves and their families, and to protect themselves against employers who may take advantage of employees. Local 479 is not a "hiring hall", which means that each member must work diligently to obtain each motion picture job. However, the union does provide a stable footing of negotiated rates and is always available if contractual issues are encountered between its members and their employers. Local 479 looks to the future, to improve the working skills and hire rate for its members through continuing education courses provided free of charge (or with nominal fees). This page is one of several methods of delivering up-to-date information to our members; confidential information will only be sent via email and posted to password-protected sections of the Local's website.

The Atlanta–North Georgia Labor Council invites you to participate in Transit Equity Day 2026 on Wednesday, February 4, 2026: Transit Moves Democracy.

This national day of action and storytelling lifts up workers, riders, and communities fighting for just, accessible, and fully funded public transit.

This year’s theme, Transit Moves Democracy, highlights the essential role public transit plays in connecting people to work, civic participation, and opportunity.

The Atlanta Labor Council stands with ATU 732 and the Labor Network for Sustainability as we center worker and community voices in the fight for equitable transit—underscoring the shared interests of riders, communities, workers, and the planet in creating fully funded, robust, accessible, and electrified transit systems.

Participants will gather in the parking lot of the IBEW 613 building at 11am, and the Annual Rosa Parks Commemoration March will begin at 12:00 noon.
