For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Betty Chow of IATSE.
Betty Chow has worked as an "A" Second Assistant Camera on the third season of "All American: Homecoming.” She serves on the International Cinematographers Guild (ICG) Local 600 National Executive Board, and is co-chair of the inclusion committee. Chow has been a Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) member for 25 years and enjoys serving as a resource for her fellow IATSE members. "I am part of an organization of skilled workers who have each other's backs through the hard times, and we share the joy in the good times. Being an IATSE member has enabled me to master my craft and be respected as a worker."
