What is New Orleans Teamsters Local 270?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
Also called Local 270.
New Orleans Teamsters Local 270 is the International Brotherhood of Teamsters local representing drivers, transportation coordinators, and picture car crew on film and television productions throughout Louisiana, one of the country's most active tax-incentive production hubs.
Productions shooting in New Orleans and across the state under signatory agreements use Local 270 members for covered transportation and picture-car services.
Example
A Louisiana production running union hires its transportation crew under Local 270's agreement, which sets driver classifications and rates for everyone moving picture cars in the region.
Figures are illustrative, chosen to show the mechanics rather than to quote market rates.
Where you'll see it
Louisiana and the surrounding region, governing the transportation labor budget.
Common mistake
Assuming a regional local's rates match a coastal one. Each local negotiates its own agreement, and Louisiana's classifications and rates are its own.
