Exclusive: The former business representative of IATSE Local 480 in Santa Fe, Nm, has accused the local’s president, Liz Pecos, of “unwelcome sexual advances” and of creating a “sexually hostile work environment” – allegations that Pecos and the local deny “in the strongest terms possible.”
Stephen Geass, who resigned as business rep on June 30 after only a month on the job, also accused Pecos of misusing union funds for her own “political and financial gain” – allegations that Pecos and the local also “categorically” deny, while accusing him of attempting to shake down the local for “substantial money” in return for keeping silent about his claims. Pecos, who serves on the executive board of the New Mexico Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, was elected co-chair of IATSE’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee in November.
It’s the second time in three years that a Local 480 leader has been accused of sexual harassment.

Both "The Avengers" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" have come and gone from theaters, but it seems as though we still haven't seen the last of these two projects. New concept art from both films has surfaced, offering us interesting new looks at movies we loved when they came out last year.
"The Avengers" production designer James Chinlund has uploaded concept art to his website, including the Tani Kunitake image above. The photos also show some rough sketches done by Chris Ross, Marisa Frantz, Paul Ozzimo and Steve Jung.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" art was uploaded by artist Josh Nizzi on his personal blog and details a seemingly cut scene where Spider-Man faces off against the Lizard on a bus fight. If it had made the movie's final cut, it would have given a new meaning to "New York Sightseeing."
Considering both of these films have sequels on the way, it's no...
