The coronavirus has given Hollywood's unions renewed clout and a raft of challenges to deal with as the industry scrambles to get back to work.
Hollywood is eager to get back to work after the coronavirus outbreak, but union officials, studio executives and others must first agree on new protocols to make filming safe again.
“In many ways, this should be the domain of the unions,” said Kate Fortmueller, a University of Georgia professor of entertainment and media studies who has focused on labor issues.“For decades, they looked at and implemented policy and procedures to ensure set safety. It’s a huge part of what they do,” she said. But she noted, in light of the pandemic, “there are a lot of stakeholders interested in putting plans in place to allow people to work.
For now, there are numerous proposals under discussion but no uniform set of guidelines, no determination of how much theseleaked sent to members, it said, “No member should return to work under an existing contract or accept a contract for new employment without first securing the approval of the union.”Hollywood’s largest guild stated that it wanted to evaluate whether the employer’s production plans comply with safety protocols, state and federal guidelines and collective bargaining agreements. They also warned members against waiving employer liability for their health and safety.
Ivy Kagan Bierman, an entertainment lawyer at Los Angeles-based partner at Loeb & Loeb, said unions are aware that their members are eager to resume working. “They know they want and need to get back to work and want to ensure that they do so safely,” she said.
