On Wednesday, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 745 announced that the technical production crew for the Timberwolves and Lynx have voted to unionize.
The 50 crew members for the two Minnesota professional basketball teams include people who run in-house cameras, replay, video production, audio and post-production.
