Hollywood crew members reach tentative deal with major studios

Film and TV crew members have reached a tentative contract deal with the major Hollywood studios after months of bargaining, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced Tuesday night.

The resolution arrived before the current contract’s expiration date, finally permitting the entertainment industry to breathe a sigh of relief in the wake of two marathon strikes waged by actors and screenwriters. IATSE’s Hollywood Basic Agreement spans three years and covers some 50,000 craftspeople primarily based in Los Angeles.

It's good that the IA got some hours and work days rules to go with the ones it had. It was good timing, because after last year the last thing the bean counters needed was another strike. The settlement has some minor victories in it. It adds a few financial incentives for producers not to work people to death, and there's some recognition of the fact that AI has the potential to replace the IA.
