A coalition including IATSE, the Directors Guild of America, the Teamsters and the Writers Guild of America is gearing up to fight for proposed expansions to the tax incentives program.

The Entertainment Union Coalition includes all of the top entertainment unions in California, including WGA West, SAG-AFTRA, the Directors Guild, Hollywood Teamsters 399, the California IATSE Council, LiUNA 724, and the American Federation of Musicians. Workers from all member unions are expected to attend the lobbying session in Sacramento.

To deal with runaway production, state legislators are proposing two bills that would not only raise the cap for California's film and TV tax credit program but also expand eligibility for productions.
