Hollywood’s Teamsters Local 399 has been granted the film and TV jurisdiction of Teamsters Local 492 in New Mexico following an investigation by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and an audit of Local 492’s financial records.
Effective immediately, Local 492 members working in the motion picture industry will become members of Local 399. The dramatic move comes after IBT investigators were sent to New Mexico in May “due to significant member concerns around the referral rules and financial structure for New Mexico Movie Teamsters,” Local 399 leader Lindsay Dougherty said in a notification to members of both locals. “It was ultimately recommended that due to the findings from the audit, Teamsters Local 492 should no longer hold the jurisdiction to represent Teamsters in the motion picture industry.
The recommendation was taken to a vote by the General Executive Board to not only remove the jurisdiction from Local 492, but, effective immediately, those in the motion picture industry in New Mexico would be transferred to Teamsters Local 399.
Local 399 will now be the new representative of these members.”Dougherty, who is Local 399’s secretary-treasurer, Director of the Teamsters Motion Picture Division, and an IBT Western Region Vice President, is also a member of the IBT executive board, but recused herself from the vote to avoid any conflict of interest.
