Costume Designers Guild Gains Nationwide Support From Hollywood Stars and Labor Unions for Pay Equity Demands (EXCLUSIVE)
The Costume Designers Guild Pay Equity Now has gained solid support from unions across the country and from Hollywood stars as IATSE crew contracts get under way.
As crew contract conversations get underway with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the Costume Designers Guild ‘s fight for pay equity has gained support from stars and labor groups. “Our team at the Equal Rights Advocates immediately saw the need for action after speaking with the Costume Designers Guild about the pay inequities they’ve been facing for years. Co-Chair of the Pay Equity Now Steering Committee Ariyela Wald-Cohain said, “It is not a coincidence that a guild that has historically been made up of women sits near the bottom of the IATSE pay scale.” Wald-Cohain continued, “Compared to our male-dominated creative department head counterparts, costume design department heads make nearly 45% less.”
