Tension has been simmering between crews and studios for a long time, with crews — Hollywood’s equivalent of blue-collar workers — feeling overlooked and underappreciated, especially as deep-pocketed tech companies like Apple and Amazon have colonized the entertainment industry. Anger started to boil over in the summer, when an IATSE member, Ben Gottlieb, a young lighting technician, started an Instagram page dedicated to work-related horror stories.

:fidel-salute: Ben Gottlieb understands how to organize and agitate! every one of us should start a similar instagram account for whatever industry we are in. it's a genius idea.
