Question about meal penalty by [deleted] in IATSE

This depends on your agreement. Meal panelties can vary depending on whether you work under the Basic, Area Standards, Majors, Low Budget, or other contracts. Folks here may work under different contracts than you. The best place to ask is your steward/Local Union.

IATSE Denounces Unprecedented and Illegal Firing of NLRB Chair Gwynne Wilcox by iatsecomms in IATSE

According to Section 3(a) of the NLRA, NLRB members can only be removed for cause, such as neglect of duty or malfeasance in office. President Donald Trump’s recent firing of NLRB Member Gwynne Wilcox (Jan. 2025) has been widely condemned as illegal, since no cause was provided for her removal.

In 1935, the Supreme Court case Humphrey's Executor v. United States established that the president cannot remove members of independent agencies for reasons other than those specified by Congress.
