IATSE LOCAL 489

Permit Registration

We are always looking for prospective new members of Local 489, but we have a process that must be followed in order to be referred for work and eventually join. If you have any questions about the process or the status of your application, please contact the department representatives.

We maintain a Permit List of persons who have undergone a preliminary screening to suitability for entry-level work on productions. Prospective members need to first be added to the Permit List, and then after they have worked on union productions for a while they may have an opportunity to join the union. Members of the Local are considered first when work is available, but there will be times when there are not enough members to fill the available jobs. When this happens, we look to the Permit List for additional workers.

Fill out the form below to apply for the Permit List.

Please indicate a max of two departments for which you have relevant experience. You will be referred to each department representative for approval, and being approved for one department will not necessarily get you approved for others. If applying to two departments, make sure your resume reflects experience in BOTH positions. Please DO NOT check off a department in which you have no training or experience. If in the future you wish to switch one category for another, that will be allowed given the approval of the representative of the new department selection.
