10 PRODUCTION SOUND & VIDEO – Summer 2022 NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS RESOLUTION PASSED AT 2021 IATSE CONVENTION! IATSE has officially changed "Fraternally" to "In Solidarity" in the closing of all official correspondence. In Solidarity resolution passed by unanimous vote of the Women's Committee March 10, 2021 resolution supporting the use of "In Solidarity" by all IATSE members, Whereas, the Labor Movement grew out of workplace conditions dur- ing and after the Industrial Revolution, when the existing workforce was almost exclusively male, and Whereas, Unions emerged to represent those workers with a com- munity of interest often referred to as a "brotherhood," and Whereas, Unions throughout the movement adopted the formal closing for correspondence and other uses derived from the Latin word "frater" meaning brother, resulting in the terms "Fraternally" or "Fraternally Yours," and Whereas, the membership of most Unions today reflects a far more diverse representation of the popula- tion beyond "brotherhood," and Whereas, the IATSE Women's Committee believes that a more inclusive term, In Solidarity, better expresses the community of interest existing in our Unions, now Therefore, be it resolved, that all International Officers, Staff, and Locals of the IATSE, in recognizing and honoring all members with a commu- nity of interest, refrain from the use of "Fraternally" and replace it with the term "In Solidarity" as reflected through- out today's more inclusive Global Labor Movement.
