Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Instead, in the event no members of IATSE are available for referral to employers, Local 118 dispatch may select any applicant for referral, provided their application is complete. As the selection is discretionary and subject to unpredictable employer requests, Local 118 does not acknowledge receipt of applications or offer estimates as to when applicants might be referred to employers. Please be patient with the process, it takes time to review applications.

Our office has a policy against bullying and harassment. All applicants, permittees, members, and members of other locals must not engage in bullying, harassment, or shouting at any time with our office.
