Parental Leave Program

IATSE 478 Family Leave Program 

Parental Leave Financial Assistance

Effective January 1, 2019, the Union established an unfunded, dues financed welfare plan for Parental Leave Financial Assistance ("Financial Assistance" or "Benefits"). The purpose of the Financial Assistance is to provide short term financial aid when a member is unable to perform their usual work. The member receiving benefits must be a biological parent, adoptive parent, or legal guardian of the child. The applicant must also be a member in good standing of Local 478. Only the member may apply for Financial Assistance.
