Chuck Parker is facing a tough re-election bid as national executive director of the Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800. Three years ago, he ran unopposed, but this time four challengers — including two former guild presidents — are running against him

In his campaign statement, Parker said he’s running on his record over the past six years, and on his support for IATSE’s past two film and TV contacts, including“In both of those negotiations, we were able to significantly increase contribution levels into our benefit plans,” Parker wrote. “It was those increases achieved during the 2018 negotiations that allowed us to fund the critical, Covid-19 health insurance eligibility extensions.

“For the past nine years,” Walsh wrote in his campaign statement, “a minority of members have maintained control over our governance and squandered our dues. They have shown a lack of management acumen and of transparency in the execution of the membership’s business affairs. Our greatest challenge is to restore accountability and trust in our governance.

“For years we have been demanding transparency,” she wrote in her campaign statement. “Demanding fair representation of employment, freedom to express our opinions without repercussions. Not having one craft prosper while another craft has poor representation. We need to stop the gossiping, cliques, and bullying against members. Our members should never fear not being hired because they have a different opinion. It’s worse today than it’s ever been.

Ukraine Says Russia Bombed Art School in Mariupol Amid Reports of Forced Deportations“What the occupiers are doing today is familiar to the older generation, who saw the horrific events of World War II, when the Nazis forcibly captured people,” Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said. Just look at how Putin treats even his own troops! Stupid, repeated, careless losses demonstrate Putin's barbaric treatment of his own Russian soldiers & their families, & Russians need to fight for them & stand up to Putin, as I note here But wait, the German Nazi SS Galician Division in WW2, was Ukrainian. Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, C4 & Right Group military units are part of Ukraine's National Guard. And it was ok, when they slaughtered 14,000 Russian speaking citizens in Donbas, and destroyed their homes ..?
