The Department for Professional Employees, a coalition of Hollywood labor unions affiliated with AFL-CIO, announced on Thursday a new policy agenda to lobby for bills that will promote diverse hiring and inclusion in the entertainment industry.
Among the legislative goals set by the unions is a push to get Congress to consider federal tax incentives for productions that come with diversity requirements, pointing to incentives already applied in states like Illinois and New York that reward productions that hire more women and people of color in front of and behind the camera.
This week’s BIG move:
ESPN Africa announce
Tyson Ngubeni aka Bob O’Connor
In the spirit of
its promise to bring the best of American sports to the continent, ESPN Africa
has announced a collaboration with comedy character Bob O’Connor. As part of
the local brand campaign, O’Connor,
the alter ego of actor Tyson Ngubeni, will lend his talents as a special
correspondent with delusions of a would-be career as a professional athlete if
it were not for an injury caused by stubbing his toe at his high school
graduation. He has been stationed in South Africa since 2018.
