IATSE Local 728, a chapter of 3000 members of the Internazional Alliance of Theaterrical Stage Employes, in movement of technicians for images, artists and allied crafts of the United States, its territories and Canada, made history by purchasing its first Bitcoin investment, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin magazine. This initiative, approved by a vast majority of its belonging, was carried out with the assistance of the test forces of the workforce, a non -profit organization dedicated to helping unions to adopt Bitcoin through education -based initiatives.
Iiatse Local 728 has declared that he has long supported the service, strength and solidarity and his decision to invest in Bitcoin aligns with his mission of fighting for financial safety for its members. “Today, we make history as the first union of the private sector in the country to put Bitcoin in our budget and keep it in Auto-Manto,” said the Union. The effort was led by the Treasurer Iiatse Local 728 Pascal Guillemard, former member of the Executive Council Jason Lord and current member of the Council David Graves, in collaboration with the founder of the Labor force Dom Bei.
“Iatse Local 728 has guided the security industry, technology and training industry since 1939. Our members have been the test of the work behind the largest productions in history – now, we are bringing the same innovation to finance,” said the Bitcoin Iiatse Local 728 consultative board. “Like the first union of the private sector in the country to put Bitcoin in its budget and keep it in its budget and keep it in its balance sheet Auto-custody, we are taking a position for financial security and the empowerment of work “.
โIt is a matter of protecting the value of the work of our members. Bitcoin is not just a resource, it is the safest and decentralized financial network in the world, immune to manipulation and inflation. While governments print money and financial institutions, undress the workers of their wages, we are taking control. This is not a bet. It is a strategy. We are learning, building and guiding, “continued the union.
Beyond its belonging, Iiatse Local 728 sees this move as a catalyst for a wider transformation within the worker movement. โFor too long, the unions played defense in a rigged system against workers. This ends now. With Bitcoin, we are not just negotiating contracts, we are ensuring economic freedom. We are setting the standard. We are acting. We are showing that the unions do not fight only for today, they build for the future. “
In addition to keeping Bitcoin in the budget, a permanent committee will be established to explore the ways in which Bitcoin can provide long -term safety for IATSE 728 members and their families. The Committee will also help to integrate the support of the Union into the Bitcoin network.
The test of the workforce praised Iatse 728 leadership in adopting Bitcoin as a reserve resource, affirming: “Proof of workforce, we understand that within each organization there is someone who has discovered the real potential of Bitcoin. Our mission is to provide that person with the tools to introduce adoption based on education and responsible for their organization. Iiatse Local 728 is a representation of the test of the work behind some of the best entertainment in the world. Their members work incredibly hard in cinematographic and television lighting, guaranteeing the highest standards in the sector. Now they have started to explore an innovative network, in line with the values โโand proof of the work exhibited by its members. Now they are lights, camera, bitcoin! “
As the first union of the private sector to integrate Bitcoin in its financial strategy, Iiatse Local 728 is creating a precedent that could inspire other unions of the private sector throughout the country to follow the example.
