Hollywood crew workers ratify new contract with studios
with Hollywood studios, resolving for now a labor dispute that had threatened to disrupt productions nationwide.
IATSE uses an electoral college-style system through which locals are assigned delegates based on their size of memberships. Members vote within their local, and once a local reaches a majority vote to either ratify or reject, all delegate votes are assigned to the majority result.The combined delegate vote in favor of the contracts was 359 to 282 , out of 641 total delegate votes from the 36 local unions.
IATSE has traditionally avoided public confrontations with the major studios, but its members have grown increasingly restless, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased pressure on crews to make up for lost time because of production shutdowns caused by the health crisis.
