firefighterreyes:i hope you have all heard by now about the impending iatse strike (they voted yes on the strike, and are now in contract negotiations so we’ll see what happens if the strike does move forward if they can’t reach an agreement) anyway, simply put the iatse is the union for crew members and they have spoken up to argue for better working conditions. anonymous stories have been shared over the past few weeks and this one was shared by a crew member (publicly) overnight.we can all like to live in blissful ignorance and hear about what’s going on with the iatse and say “yeah that’s terrible what they’re put through, they should get better rights and working conditions!” while also saying “but i’m sure my show isn’t like that <3″ bc who wants to admit that what goes on behind the scenes of their fave comfort tv show is like the terrible stuff you are hearing?yet if you’re following me, you have likely realized by now that this is a story shared by a 911 lone star crew member (like i said above, it was posted publicly but i have decided to crop out their instagram handle—if you want to find it, go ahead). i think it’s important for the fandom to know what is going on behind the scenes of their favorite shows. the stories that you are seeing aren’t just random tv shows no one’s heard of. they are big network tv shows with big producers behind them and big name stars (….). this is what is going on behind the scenes of the shows we spend hours making gif sets for and writing fanfic about. this is about 911 lone star, and it’s about every show on the air and every member of the iatse that is put through hell just to make sure the show airs on time and never sees any recognition for it. so this is the tea. but it’s more than just tea, it’s a reminder that you shouldn’t just ignore what’s going on with iatse. it’s real, and it’s important.but anyway, glad rob lowe and his family had a nice time at the dodgers game last night /s -- source link
