Lewis Rothenberg has resigned as president of the Cinematographers Guild, IATSE Local 600, citing “differences” with the union’s senior staff and national officers. He was elected…
In a message Friday to the local’s members and staff, Rothenberg said “that my vision for this union, as to who runs it and how it should be run, is not fully aligned with some of our senior staff and National Officers. While I truly believe everyone in the leadership of this Local has the members in mind, there are major ideological differences between some of us. I ran for this office to bring change, unite us, and increase activism.
In February of 2019, I made the decision to run for President fully knowing that if I won, it would mean establishing a residence in Southern California. At the end of October, I noticed that on my online membership profile, I was still listed with New York as my production city. I called member services and advised them that it needed to be changed. A few days later, I received notification from our in-house counsel that my production city could not be changed to Los Angeles with my guild residence listed as New Jersey. At that point, I said that it was ok to change my guild residence to my Sherman Oaks address.
In full disclosure, in June of 2013, the NEB did instruct the staff to follow this practice, but that was in response to an issue we were having with members establishing residences in Incentive states so that they could work as a local there, as well as keep their NY or LA production city status. It was to prevent members from trying to game the system.
This of course has put me in a very difficult situation of trying to decide if I can remain President of Local 600. As a volunteer, the additional tax burden, on top of all the other financial and personal sacrifices this residency requirement has put on me and my family, is not something I can bear.
