IATSE Gets Show of Solidarity From International Unions as Contract Talks Kick Off: ‘Your Fight Is Our Fight’ (EXCLUSIVE)
As IATSE contract talks begin international unions are expressing solidarity.
“The member unions across the globe stand in solidarity with our U.S. colleagues as they go into their negotiations for fair pay, decent working conditions and the protection of workers’ rights in the digital environment including the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI),” said the UNI’s Media, Entertainment and Arts executive committee in a statement. SAG-AFTRA and the WGA have repeatedly expressed their gratitude for support from IATSE and Teamster members during the strikes, and leaders have offered to return the favor this year if the crew union takes to the picket lines. Last year, we united behind the writers – who are also our members – until they won, and now we are ready to mobilize, cheer and stand by our IATSE siblings as they carry the flag for production crew globally.”
