LOS ANGELES — The 15 Hollywood-based locals representing over 35,000 members of the IATSE working in motion picture and television production have ratified the new Hollywood Basic Agreement with the AMPTP. The three-year contract, which will go into effect August 1, 2009, was tentatively proposed last November, with drafting completed in February.
“We have delivered a strong contract in a very chaotic economic climate,” said Matthew D. Loeb, IATSE president. “We feel we have given our members the best protection we can at a time when the bottom is falling out of a lot of traditional business models. We look forward to three years of labor stability and a commitment to keeping our members working.”
