IATSE Local 80 Shuts Burbank Office Following Receipt of Menacing Letter

IATSE Grips Local 80 took immediate action today in response to a disturbing letter received at their Burbank offices. The safety of their employees is their top priority, and they have closed their doors until further notice. Local 80 has notified the Burbank police, who are currently investigating the credibility of the threat. No arrests have been made at this time.

The identity of the letter-writer is known to the police, but further details have not been disclosed. Dejon Ellis, Jr., the local’s business manager, expressed concern over the sender’s state of mind, mentioning that they seemed to be distressed by the ongoing writer and actor strikes. Ellis stated, “He said some very scary things. He’s just mad. He says he’s out of work and homeless. He’s distraught. I don’t know if it’s a cry for help or not knowing how to control his anger.”

The situation is being taken seriously, and Local 80 is cooperating fully with the authorities. They appreciate the understanding and support of their members during this challenging time.
