Hollywood production workers authorized their union to strike if necessary, a move that would shut down production of shows and films
IATSE members have called on the employers in this next three-year agreement to guarantee better working conditions—including rest and less-strenuous hours—and better pay on“The members have spoken loud and clear,” said IATSE International President Matthew Loeb. “This vote is about the quality of life as well as the health and safety of those who work in the film and television industry. Our people have basic human needs like time for meal breaks, adequate sleep, and a weekend.
Social media fueled the effort as negotiations between IATSE and the studios dragged on over the past several months. On Instagram, members recounted long hours, low pay and days with little food or sleep. In Los Angeles in recent days, car windows have been emblazoned with the IATSE insignia, drivers urging passersby to honk in support of a strike.“The AMPTP remains committed to reaching an agreement that will keep the industry working,” a spokesman for AMPTP said in a statement.
Looming large in Hollywood’s collective memory is the 2007 strike of the Writers Guild of America, which lasted more than three months and included picket lines that formed outside studio gates. That dispute grew out of the guild’s frustration with compensation tied to online distribution. The IATSE negotiations with AMPTP contend with a sequel to such concerns—how its members are paid by streaming services fueling the surge in production.
