Costume Coordinators are a vital part of the team and absolutely deserve to be in 829!

This is crucial, the job has a lot of major responsibilities. It is very important that this become a union position. It is long overdue!

The costume coordinator position is integral to the costume department and should be a category in the union.

Such a crucial role in the department, similar to Art Department our coordinators run the show! Budget, PA's, managing the returns all supporting the design team and so much more. It should be a job that is protected and can be held for many years - not treated as a barely a step up from a PA. It is so much more. Better support = Better coordinators!

Coordinators run the show, and most often are the first in and last out! I hope they soon become considered for the 829 Union!

This needs to happen . Coordinators are skilled valuable members of the crew and should be treated that way.

Without the Coordinators, our jobs, the Designers' job, and the Accountant's job would be nearly impossible. It's an incredibly difficult position with extreme responsibility and I have always thought that it should be a Union position. Coordinator's deserve to be compensated fairly for the very hard work they do.

It is time for our dept. to be taken as seriously as the Art Dept. The Coordinator has a great deal of responsiblity of both doing the books, ordering online and keeping dept. organized. e

Costume Coordinators need to be part of local 829. Many coordinators move on to become Asst Costume Designers!
