TUSC-MPTF Insurance Assistance
"THE UNION SOLIDARITY COALITION was founded by writer/directors who were moved to connect with crew affected by the 2023 WGA strike. Watching people honor our picket lines touched and inspired us, and presented us with a model for unity in action. Though the strike is the catalyst for creating TUSC, we feel this is just the beginning of a larger, urgent movement of solidarity between all of the industry unions, and also our coworkers who aren’t part of a union. We want to think big about how we can support each other in the face of a national labor crisis.
Right now, our focus is to offer direct financial support to crew members who have lost health insurance due to strike-related shutdowns. We will be hosting some events that act as both fundraisers and social gatherings for folks across the industry. And there will be more initiatives to come."
