IATSE reps net, unit in Texas

Lone Star, Fox Sports Net employees to be part of Local 796

The Intl. Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees has won the right to represent about 200 employees of Lone Star Mobile Television and Fox Sports Net Southwest.

IATSE said it had been conducting organizing drives for several months to represent technicians for the broadcasting of live, professional and college sports events in Texas. It won the election for representation 141 to 56.

The employees will be repped through Local 796, which will have its membership nearly doubled as a result.

IATSE noted, "Their triumph holds a special significance since Texas is a staunch right-to-work state and has long opposed organized labor establishing any significant presence."
