Mark Ruffalo, Quinta Brunson, Ryan Coogler Among Hollywood Union Members Signing Letter Of Solidarity Urging AMPTP To Bargain “Fair Contract” With IATSE, Basic Crafts


Mark Ruffalo, Kerry Washington and more have signed a letter of solidarity amid IATSE and the Basic Crafts' negotiations with the AMPTP

Signatories include Alan Ritchson, Amy Schumer, Lily Waschowski, Boots Riley, Connie Britton, Chelsea Handler, Mark Ruffalo, Lamorne Morris, Gina Prince Bythwood, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Charlie Kaufman, Kerry Washington, Quinta Brunson, Natasha Lyonne, Ryan Coogler, Will Forte, and Sarah Polley. The letter, addressed directly to the Alliance of Motion Picture Television Producers, urges the Carol Lombardini-led group to give the unions “a fair contract that acknowledges their essential contributions to production and allows these behind-the-scenes artists, artisans, and craftspeople to live and retire with dignity.” The letter, which Deadline understands was conceived and circulated by a mutual aid group formed during last year’s strikes called The Union Solidarity Committee, also acknowledges the “sacrifices” that below-the-line crew made during the work stoppages, insisting that the signatories “will never forget” those contributions.
