Hollywood IATSE union closes tentative deal with studios to avert industry-wide strike
Negotiators for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) settled on a deal on Saturday to avert a potential industry-crippling workers' strike.
"Everything achieved was because you, the members, stood up and gave us the power to change the course of these negotiations," leaders of Hollywood's 13 local unions said in a statement to their members. "Our solidarity, at both the leadership and rank and file level, was the primary reason that no local was left behind and every priority was addressed."
"This is a Hollywood ending," said IATSE International President Matthew Loeb. "Our members stood firm. They're tough and united."
