IATSE and Other Crew Unions Make Pension and Health Proposals as Bargaining Begins
IATSE, the Teamsters, and the other Basic Crafts unions began bargaining on Monday on a new three-year contract with the studios.
The first day of bargaining followed a massive rally on Sunday, at which union leaders warned of a sequel to last year’s Hot Labor Summer if no deal is reached by the July 31 contract deadline. The talks started at 2 p.m. with an unusually large delegation of crew unions on hand to bargain with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the major studios. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees agreed to bargain jointly with Teamsters Local 399 and the other Basic Crafts unions on issues pertaining to the Motion Picture Industry Pension and Health Plans.
