Reporting a workplace violation on the website is Reporting a workplace violation on the website is very easy.

On your Member profile page, there are many “report a work violation” links that allow you to fill out a simple form. You can even do it anonymously. Be sure to report violations whether it’s unpaid hours, unsafe working conditions, being asked to perform duties that fall outside your classification or any other concern. The Union and Field Reps can only help and support if they know what’s happening in your workplace. 🔑

This is a reminder that as of July 31, 2022 the MP This is a reminder that as of July 31, 2022 the MPIPHP increase for all on call classifications is in effect. 

It is important to note that this change is not a requirement of hours worked. As is the current practice, an on call employee’s workday is determined upon the work that needs to be performed; it is separate from the guaranteed MPIPHP hours you receive.
 
If this contractual improvement is used to mandate a change to your work schedule, please reach out to a field rep so that we can assist you in addressing the matter – AskARep@EditorsGuild.com.
 
We do not anticipate this will be a problem for members, but we want to be proactive in ensuring all affected members are aware and receive the increase in hours.

Picture editor Mark Sadlek cut the pilot, each sea Picture editor Mark Sadlek cut the pilot, each season premiere, multiple episodes each season, and the series finale of #Insecure. In our recent issue of #Cinemontage, we asked Sadlek: As the co-creator and executive producer of the show, did Issa like to join you in the cutting room? His response: 'It was tough being a lead actor because time is limited. She would find that moment any time she could. I would get the call, “Okay, Issa’s got then minutes” and she would come in. One of the great joys of it is that collaboration and her thoughts and just knowing the story so well. Also, her specific thoughts on the music, too, were amazing. She loved coming to hang in the bay. It was an amazing collaboration.'
