The IATSE National Benefit Funds are trust funds established by the IATSE through collective bargaining with various entertainment industry employers.
Generally, funding comes from contributing employers that are engaged in industries such as live theatre, motion picture, television, commercials, music videos, and trade shows and that have Collective Bargaining Agreements with IATSE or an affiliated local union.
The Funds are governed by Boards of Trustees made up of an equal number of representatives of the IATSE (labor) and the employers (management). The IATSE National Benefit Funds include the Pension, Annuity, Health & Welfare, Vacation and 401(k) Funds. For more information about the National Benefit Funds, please visit www.iatsenbf.org.
