The Motion Picture Editors Guild (MPEG) is a national labor organization currently representing over 7,300 freelance and staff post-production professionals. Ours is the world’s premiere craft guild that sets the standards for excellence in the post-production industry. The requirements to become a member of the Guild and placed on our Industry Experience Roster ensures the highest level of professionalism.
As Local 700 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), an international union over 100 years old, we are allied with some 500 affiliated locals in the United States and Canada with a combined membership of more than 110,000. This strength increases our collective power at the bargaining table and results in better contracts with superior benefits.
MPEG negotiates new collective bargaining agreements (union contracts) and enforces existing agreements with employers involved in post-production. We provide assistance for securing better conditions, including but not limited to financial (better pay), medical (better health insurance), safety (turnaround time) and artistic (assignment of credit) concerns.
