Hollywood Strike Averted As IATSE & AMPTP Reach Deal On New Film & TV Contract

[RandySF]

EXCLUSIVE: With Hollywood on edge and picket signs at the ready, IATSE and the AMPTP have reached an agreement on a new film and TV contract, averting a threatened nationwide strike.

The new three-year contract, which must now be ratified by the union’s members, comes just hours before the deadline – midnight Sunday – imposed by IATSE president Matthew Loeb. The union and the Carol Lombardini-led AMPTP are expected to make the agreement public very shortly.

“It took a lot to get here, but this is a good deal, a fair deal for everyone concerned,” an individual close to the sometimes strained negotiations told Deadline once all the final contract language was agreed on Saturday. “Time to break out the cigars,” the individual added.

2. I would like to see the details of the agreement

I heard (on Randi Rhodes) that they were asking for freaking meal breaks in 12 hour shifts. What country is this?

4. Yes some of the details indicate that these workers were treated like indentured servants.

No breaks during very long shifts, no meal time.
No time off on weekends, etc.
Low pay, etc.

3. Hopefully this is a good deal.
