I.A.T.S.E.

The U.S. Cellular Center Arena is contracted directly through the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United State, Its Territories and Canada (I.A.T.S.E.) and local 191.

 

The I.A.T.S.E. and local 191 are the contracted suppliers of stage labor for the U.S. Cellular Center Arena for calls requiring over eight hands. The U.S. Cellular Center Arena house technical crew fills calls of eight or less stagehands. Both are paid at the same rates and minimums.

 

The U.S. Cellular Center Arena reserves the right to set all staffing requirements for events. The U.S. Cellular Center Arena will work closely with the Lessee to make sure both the facility and lessee's needs are met. The U.S. Cellular Center will be the sole provider of all stagehands, or any other event related staff.
