IATSE and AMPTP Reach Tentative Agreement, Avoiding Summer Strike -

In a significant development for Hollywood, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have reached a tentative agreement on the Area Standards Agreement. This follows the successful negotiation of the Basic Agreement earlier this week. The new agreement, pending ratification, ensures that there will be no IATSE strike this summer, providing relief to both the industry and its workforce.

The agreement impacts IATSE’s 23 Locals nationwide, covering 20,000 members, and follows two days of intensive talks. The Basic Agreement, which affects around 50,000 members of the 13 West Coast Locals, was settled over a month before its expiration. This proactive resolution highlights the commitment of both sides to maintain stability in the industry.

Next on the agenda for Hollywood labor deals are the AMPTP’s contract talks with the Teamsters, with negotiations expected to accelerate as the current contract nears its July 31 expiration.
