Hollywood union workes authorise industry-wide strike, demand 'better pay, safer hours'

Firstpost  

Members of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, which covers camera crews, prop masters, hairdressers, and other craft workers, say they are being worked to death with gruelling hours and no guaranteed rest or meal breaks Film and television production in North America is in jeopardy of coming to a standstill after its behind-the-scenes workers overwhelmingly voted to authorise a strike for the first time in its 128-year history. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees said Monday that nearly 99% of registered members who participated, or 52,706 people, voted in support of a strike over the weekend. Loeb has said his goal is to reach an agreement, not to “have a dispute,” but noted the vote was about the “quality of life as well as the health and safety of those who work in the film and television industry.” The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees has said it is “incomprehensible that the AMPTP, an ensemble that includes media mega-corporations collectively worth trillions of dollars, claims it cannot provide behind-the-scenes crews with basic human necessities like adequate sleep, meal breaks, and living wages.” The union added its members worked through the coronavirus pandemic to ensure their business emerged intact. The only other previous dispute was when set decorators walked out for six months in 1945, resulting in a riot at the Warner Bros studio gates that became known as “Bloody Friday.” Should the stalemate this time result in a strike, it would be the first nationwide movement in the theatrical stage worker group’s history.
