IATSE appears to have gotten just about everything it was asking for in a deal with the AMPTP that averted a nationwide strike, including more rest between workdays and improved wages and working conditions on streaming shows.

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 Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800, will hold two membership town hall meetings on Thursday to discuss strike preparations and what will be expected of members if a strike begins on Monday. The meetings will be held at 7 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT.

IATSE president Matthew Loeb says that the union will go on strike on Monday unless a deal is reached in the next few days.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaNegotiations to prevent a strike that could bring the film and television production business to its knees are down to the wire. International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees International President Matthew Loeb announced Wednesday that unless an agreement is reached, 60,000 union members will begin a nationwide strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on Monday, October 18 at 12:01 a.m.

In the memo obtained by TheWrap, Cathy Repola, National Executive Director of IATSE’s Motion Picture Editors Guild, says that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the studios, “repeatedly refuse to do what it will take to achieve a fair deal.” ““Either they don’t recognize what has changed in our industry and among our members or they don’t care. Or both,” the memo continues.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterAn official with IATSE told members on Tuesday that the studios are refusing to make the necessary concessions to avoid a strike, although negotiations are still underway.Cathy Repola, the national executive director of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, told members in an email on Tuesday that the pace of the talks is quickening, and that the timetable continues to be “days, not weeks.”“In the wake of the overwhelming strike authorization vote, the employers repeatedly refuse to do what it will take to achieve a fair deal,” Repola wrote. “Either they don’t recognize what has changed in our industry and among our members or they don’t care.

“We continue to stand firm on the priority issues that you supported with your strike authorization vote.  Those are living wages, sustainable benefits, our fair share of streaming success, reasonable rest and breaks during the workday,” read a memo sent to members of IATSE Local 700, the Motion Picture Editors Guild by National Executive Director Cathy Repola.“It is in the best interest of all IATSE members across the country that we continue to bargain until it becomes apparent that we cannot reach an agreement,” the memo continued. “That is what we intend to do while we simultaneously prepare for a work stoppage that we hope does not have to happen.”On Friday, a memo sent to members included a statement from IATSE President Matthew Loeb

IATSE and the AMPTP have concluded their fourth day of do-or-die bargaining and will resume negotiations for a new film and TV contract on Saturday. But if a deal is to be reached, and a strike averted, it will have to be made soon. “It’s a matter of days, not weeks,” IATSE president Matthew Loeb said tonight. Last weekend, the union’s members voted resoundingly (over 98%) in favor of granting him strike authorization if a deal can’t be reached.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterThe high-stakes negotiations between the studios and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees will continue on Saturday, as the two sides continue to talk on a range of issues.The union is seeking movement on its key priorities — including long hours and streaming pay scales — but has advised that it will not let the talks drag on indefinitely.“It’s a matter of days, not weeks,” International President Matthew Loeb said in a statement on Friday night.The 13 Basic Agreement locals also issued a statement, emphasizing the urgency of getting an agreement.

IATSE has told its members that ongoing negotiations with the AMPTP for a new film and TV contract are “fluid” and that members should “disregard any information you read in the press as it is not necessarily an accurate representation of what is actually occurring.”

IATSE and the AMPTP are “still talking” and are expected to return to the virtual bargaining table again Friday. Armed with strike authorization from his members, IATSE president Matthew Loeb can call a nationwide walkout of film and TV workers at any time if he and AMPTP president Carol Lombardini can’t reach a fair deal.

IATSE and the AMPTP have resumed bargaining today after working all day Tuesday to avert a threatened nationwide strike against film and TV productions.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterIn 2015, IATSE International President Matthew Loeb went into the negotiating room determined to do something about long hours worked on productions. The issue has been a sore point among members for years, especially after there were car accidents caused by drowsy driving.In the final hours of negotiating, Loeb made a fervent speech to his counterparts at the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.“I only wish every rank-and-file member could have witnessed his fire and passion,” Scott Bernard, the business representative of Local 695 reported afterward.

The union reports that 90% of members cast ballots this weekend, with 98% of those votes in favor of strike authorization. The union’s negotiating committee will meet with representatives from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on Tuesday morning to resume negotiations.
