Minneapolis, MN — The in-house audio and video crew for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx at the Target Center has filed for union recognition under the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 745. The crew, comprising approximately 50 members, handles essential technical roles such as operating in-house cameras, replays, video, audio, tape operations, and post-production. After requesting voluntary union recognition on Monday, which went unanswered by Timberwolves management, the union formally filed for a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election. If successful, the Timberwolves/Lynx crew would become Minnesota’s second in-house sports group to unionize, following the Minnesota United crew’s vote in September 2022.
