The IATSE Pride Committee is pleased to announce the appointment of Carl Mulert as Co-Chair, serving alongside current Chair Nate Richmond.

Mulert is an International Vice President of IATSE and the first openly queer person to hold that role. He has been an active member of the Pride Committee and brings a strong record of advancing LGBTQIA+ inclusion within IATSE and the wider community. He also serves as the IATSE liaison to the AFL-CIO’s Department of Civil, Human and Women’s Rights, contributing to broader labour movement work focused on equity and inclusion.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Vice President Mulert into this role,” said Richmond. “With co-chairs based in both Canada and the United States, we are strengthening the committee’s reach. Carl brings experience, leadership, and a deep commitment to our members, and I’m looking forward to continuing our collaboration.”

Mulert added, “Founding Chair Nate Richmond and I have worked closely in the past and together, along with the entire committee, we will continue to advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community within IATSE and across the broader labour movement.”

The IATSE Pride Committee remains committed to supporting LGBTQIA+ members and strengthening equity and inclusion across the union and beyond.
