By adding your job information to our database, we get a more accurate picture of the workplace. We cross-reference member-submitted information with the contracts we have on file and with data provided by the IA. This helps us resolve problems you may have at work. It strengthens our position when dealing with Producers, and it provides cru- cially important information when the time comes to orga- nize. The Local 695 Constitution & Bylaws require that all members report all jobs: IA shows and non-IA shows, long- term assignments and day-calls, theatrical and TV produc- tions, sports, commercials, music videos … everything. http://www.local695.com/mbr/jobreport.php Job Reporting IN MEMORIAM International President Matt Loeb (right) and International Vice President Michael F.
