Presidents Of Hollywood’s Unions Urge Congress To Pass Performing Artist Tax Parity Act
Jennifer Dorning, president of the Department for Professional Employees, AFL-CIOEvan Yionoulis, president of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society“Most entertainment workers, including members of our unions, spend 20 to 30 percent of their income on necessary work expenses,” their letter says. “Typical expenses might include transportation to an audition, a talent agent and manager, or equipment such as expensive cameras, musical instruments, or tools.
“After their industry was completely shut down by the pandemic, entertainment workers are still trying to get back on their feet,” saidpresident Dorning, whose umbrella organization helped organize the letter-writing campaign. “PATPA will put money back in the hands of entertainment workers to help them pay their rent, put food on the table, and contribute to their local economies. Entertainment workers should not be punished by the tax code for seeking employment.
“We urge you to include PATPA in any year-end tax legislation,” the letter says. “PATPA will bring much needed tax fairness to hard working Americans who simply want to keep working in the entertainment industry during the challenging Covid recovery period.”
