Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 “Change That Is Long Overdue”: Why IATSE May Call for a Strike WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM Workers in the 150,000-member Hollywood crafts union are frustrated with low pay and marathon workdays that are no longer viewed as a "badge of honor," while asking for stricter penalties for missed meal breaks and greater compensation for streaming projects. Quote IATSE, which represents crewmembers including grips, cinematographers, editors, costumers, hairstylists and more, informed members Sept. 20 that it would hold a nationwide strike authorization vote (no date was disclosed) amid increasingly strained contract negotiations with producers. Thirteen West Coast locals have been negotiating their next three-year film and television contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in stops and starts for months, and after producers declined to respond to their latest proposal, union leaders, led by IATSE president Matthew Loeb, promised to push for “change that is long overdue in this industry.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without having to read any further into this I'm going to say it's safe to assume the people with money don't want to give up more than they currently are and the folks a few rungs down are tired of being taken advantage of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've had friends that have worked 16, or eve 20 hour shifts. It's not right. Things need to change. It's supposed to be 12 hour days, but going four or more hours over consistently is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
