 Oct. 18, 2021 | U.S. LABOR UNIONS | A nationwide strike that would have started today was averted when the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) reached a tentative three-year agreement on Saturday with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) for The Basic and Videotape Agreements which affects 40,000 film and television workers represented by 13 West Coast IATSE local unions. The proposed contract addresses core issues, including reasonable rest periods; meal breaks; a living wage for those on the bottom of the pay scale; and significant increases in compensation to be paid by new-media companies. “This is a Hollywood ending,” said IATSE International President Matthew Loeb. “Our members stood firm. We are tough and united.” International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE)
