Workers at House of Blues Houston Vote to Join IATSE Local 51 HOUSTON, TX β Workers at the House of Blues in Houston, Texas have voted to join the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 51. The November 3 election results revealed an overwhelming 95% of votes cast in favor of union representation, uniting a group of 42 employees who work across lighting, sound, video, carpentry, props, stage management, hospitality, freight, and backstage coordination. House of Blues Houston is a 43,000-square-foot concert venue with multiple performance spaces and a maximum capacity of 2,100 guests. Owned by Live Nation, it is part of the House of Blues chain of venues, which includes eleven locations across the United States. By joining IATSE, the Houston crew becomes part of a growing number of Live Nation-operated venues where workers have organized in recent years, reflecting a nationwide movement of live event professionals coming together for fair treatment and respect on the job. Workers reached out to Local 51in August 2025 to begin the process of formal union representation. In the months that followed, workers held regular meetings to discuss how they could build a safer, fairer, and more respectful workplace together. βWe came together to form a union because every worker deserves a safe, fair, and respectful workplace,β said crewmember David Allen. βOur goal is simple: to ensure that all employees have adequate working conditions free from favoritism, intimidation, and hostility. We believe that no one should have to choose between their safety and their livelihood.β
Another big victory for live event workers! The crew of House of Blues Houston has voted overwhelmingly to join IATSE Local 51!
They join a growing number of Live Nation venue workers uniting for fair treatment, safety, and respect on the job. Welcome to the IATSE family!

Savor this moment, friends.
They couldnβt buy their way to a win. They couldnβt racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.
Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race. Mamdani will be the first Muslim and first person of South Asian descent to serve as the cityβs mayor. At 34 years old, he would also be the youngest mayor to run City Hall in modern history. nymag.com/intelligence...

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
Good night, and good luck.

Not only cause he has an inspiring vision for the city, but also to serve notice to all cities (and the DNC) that having a platform to garner actual support - not merely to stave off an opponent - is the move forward.
