Averting Major Strike Threat, IATSE and Studios Reach Tentative Contract Deal - NewsBreak

After an unprecedented strike authorization vote and establishment of a tentative strike date, IATSE and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) reached a tentative contract deal Saturday that narrowly averted a major work stoppage starting Monday. If the deal hadn't been reached, IATSE members working under affected contracts would have been expected to show up to work locations determined by their Locals, such as major studios, on Monday to picket.
