IATSE Entertainment and Exhibition Industries Training Trust Fund

We’re excited to announce that we’re upgrading Lynda.com accounts to LinkedIn Learning on July 1st! Subscriptions will continue to be free for active IATSE members and those working under IATSE agreements.

Through this subscription, IATSE workers will have unlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning online library of high-quality, instructional videos across a wide spectrum of technologies. It’s the same content with personalized learning experiences powered by the LinkedIn network, based on trending skills in your craft. Your members can continue where they left off with all the same access to their learning history, account information, and certifications.

Upgrading accounts will be easy: if your members already have a Lynda.com subscription, we will email them instructions to activate their LinkedIn Learning account on July 1st. During the activation process, they will have the option to connect a LinkedIn profile to their LinkedIn Learning account. If they do not have a LinkedIn profile, they can create one.

Health Insurance Forum

MOVED TO AUGUST 12TH @11am

To attend you must register through the Training Trust website.

Local 887 has scheduled a question and answer video conference with a representative from the IATSE National Benefit Funds (the administrator of our health insurance plan). The NBF rep will cover aspects of enrollment and the Plan C options, as well as what happens if you lack funds in your account.  There will be opportunity for question and answer.

We have also invited a representative from the Washington Health Benefit Exchange to discuss the use of the exchange, as well as any subsidies available to you. We hope to help people understand their options for using these programs, either in combination or separately, as allowed by the Affordable Care Act.

Payroll deductions for the new Washington State Paid Family and Medical Leave benefit began in 2019. Benefits available starting in 2020.  Click here to find out more about the new Paid Family and Medical Leave benefit.
