Also called Local 728.

Atlanta Teamsters Local 728 is the International Brotherhood of Teamsters local that represents transportation crew, picture car coordinators, wranglers, haulers, and drivers for film and television productions shooting in Georgia.

Productions using union labor in Atlanta and surrounding areas will work under Local 728's contract for all picture car transportation and staging services.

Example

A Georgia production running union transportation hires its drivers, wranglers, and picture car coordinator under Local 728's agreement, which sets the rates, hours, and classifications for everyone moving vehicles on that show.

Common mistake

Budgeting Georgia transportation at non-union rates and then signing a union agreement. The classifications determine who may move which vehicle, which changes the crew count as well as the rate.
