Matthew Loeb Re-Elected For Fourth Term As IATSE President After Unopposed Campaign
DeadlineFriday, August 1, 2025 at 6:21:19 PM
Matthew Loeb has been re-elected as president of IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) for a fourth term after running unopposed. The union, representing over 150,000 members, also re-elected General Secretary-Treasurer James B. Wood and 13 other leaders. Loeb has led the union for 17 years and will continue in his role.
Editor’s Note: This story matters because IATSE is a major force in the entertainment industry, representing behind-the-scenes workers in film, TV, and theater. Loeb's continued leadership signals stability for the union, which has been involved in high-profile labor negotiations, including recent strikes and contract disputes. While the unopposed re-election suggests internal confidence, it also raises questions about leadership turnover and union democracy. For workers and the industry, this means business as usual—for now.
