IATSE reaches basic agreement with producers

November 19, 2008 The Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers has inked its sixth deal with a major union this year, completing contract talks with IATSE for its basic agreement covering 35,000 below-the-line workers. Terms of the new contract fall in line with deals the AMPTP has made this year with the WGA, DGA and on two AFTRA contracts, with modifications for the needs of IATSE members. "Taken together, these six new labor agreements will keep our industry at work, allow producers to experiment with new media and give everyone in our industry a stake in the success of new and emerging markets," the AMPTP said.
