IATSE's Tom Short--Can He Prevent a Writers' Strike?
Tom Short, leader of IATSE, is profiled today by Richard Verrier in the LA Times. Short leads the union that represents stagehands, cinematographers, grips, and other technical workers, including tape editors. With the treat of a WGA strike floating around, the piece says

When the writers on ANTM struck, Stone’s union editors filled in, and Verrier uses this as an example of the union boss’s power.
