We the undersigned in a non-adversarial manner and demeanor wish it be known to President Ford and the Executive board of IATSE Local 52 Motion Picture Studio Mechanics of our desire for the board to seek and hire negotiators to represent the Local in the next round of Major’s contract negotiations in 2015.

We the undersigned wish to convey this petition to the President and Executive Board with the utmost respect for the work that has been done on behalf of the membership past and present. We recognize that the employers have large financial resources and hire the very best they possibly can to represent their interests at these negotiations and we the undersigned request that the President and Executive board conduct a search and ultimately employ highly trained persons that will represent the Local’s interests in such said negotiations.
