Help the workers behind your favorite artforms.
Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Local 798, IATSE is a labor union with over 1900 members working throughout a jurisdiction of 21 states plus Washington D.C., stretching from Maine to Florida.
Our members, who are diversely talented, work in film, theatre, ballet, opera, television, commercials and new media.
In 2025, Disney reported that ESPN made $17.6 billion in revenue.
But the hair stylists and makeup artists who make their shows possible receive neither health insurance nor retirement benefits.
These workers, many of whom are heads of household and parents, work around the clock to ensure on-air talent is ready to deliver ESPN viewers with high quality content - whether it’s 3PM or 3AM.
The hair and makeup workers at ESPN are asking for your support.
Tell Paul Homer (ESPN Employee Relations), Patrick Hoffman (Senior Manager of Studio Operations) and Leslie Atiles (Distinct Artistry Owner) that these makeup artists and hair stylists need health and retirement benefits secured under a union contract.
