Topic	I.A.T.S.E. inches closer to strike against Producers/Hollywood Studios this week
CyborgSage00x0 09/21/21 1:54:08 PM #1:	Context: I.A.T.S.E (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) is the massive film union that represents basically everyone in film that isn't DGA, PGA, WGA, etc. They have 3-year deals with the A.M.P.T.P. (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers), which is the Producers/Studios. No headway has been made at all between the 2 sides, with the A.M.P.T.P. trying to massively backslide on workers' rights, compensation, etc. Basically, it's the working man vs the Hollywood studios and Producer Execs. IATSE is voting this week to authorize a strike vote, which would allow the Union to call for a formal strike. The strike vote is expected to overwhelming pass. IATSE has never gone on strike before, and represents ~65,000, meaning this could be one of the largest strikes in US histroy. Full disclosure: I am an IATSE member. https://deadline.com/2021/09/iatse-strike-authorization-vote-film-tv-workers-1234841037/ https://variety.com/2021/film/news/iatse-strike-authorization-vote-1235069694/ IATSE moved one step closer to a strike against the film and TV industry companies Monday, telling its members that it will now ask them for strike authorization. Today, the AMPTP informed the IATSE that they do not intend to respond to our comprehensive package proposal presented to them over a week ago, the union leaders said in a message to members. This failure to continue negotiating can only be interpreted one way. They simply will not address the core issues we have repeatedly advocated for from the beginning. As a result, we will now proceed with a nationwide strike authorization vote to demonstrate our commitment to achieving the change that is long overdue in this industry. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said in a statement that it put forth a deal-closing comprehensive proposal that meaningfully addresses the IATSEs key bargaining issues, and that in choosing to leave the bargaining table to seek a strike authorization vote, the IATSE leadership walked away from a generous comprehensive package. See the AMPTPs full statement below. A strike-authorization vote does not necessarily mean that there will be a strike only that the members give their leaders the authorization to call for a walkout if they are unable to reach an eleventh-hour agreement. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:958266950] in I.A.T.S.E....
