Ethos is founder owned and operated by two union leaders from New York City who believe in a better approach to providing union labor. When productions need to hire union stagehands, they turn to Ethos for an insider perspective, diligent pre-production, and on-site leadership. We're committed to developing better relations between unions and productions, making hiring nationwide union labor predictable, efficient, and enjoyable.
