We need your help assisting Local 8 by bannering certain hotels that are in the Miami area that are against an unfair Employer. IATSE Local 500 will be hosting a class specifically for the proper and legal way to "Banner".  Anyone who is interested in participating we encourage you to join us on Monday, May 14, 2012 at 11:00am at our Union office located 1001 NW 62nd Street Suite 220 Fort Lauderdale , FL 33309.
