Lights, Camera, STRIKE! (w/ Marisa Shipley, David McMahon, & Fae Weichsel)

In this urgent episode, we talk to a panel of IATSE members—Marisa Shipley (Local 871), David McMahon (Local 52), and Fae Weichsel (Local 600)—about the work they do and the significance of the strike vote currently underway.
