Let&#8217;s discuss the ins and outs of <em>why<\/em>.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who work \u201coutside\u201d the mainstream film industry, you might not have heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Alliance_of_Theatrical_Stage_Employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">IATSE<\/a>. It stands for the \u201cInternational Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada,\u201d and is pretty much the largest union in the world covering every craft within film and television production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, coming on the heels of a ramping-up battle between IATSE and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alliance_of_Motion_Picture_and_Television_Producers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">AMPTP<\/a> (the &#8220;Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers&#8221;: a trade association that represents over 350 TV and film companies and producers) along with other media conglomerates, it sounds like a strike between the two is on the verge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, what does that strike actually mean? (And, how did we get here to begin with?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s catch you up on everything going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iatse-vs-amptp\"><span id=\"iatse-vs-amptp\">IATSE vs. AMPTP<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dHFpcmwDB1Q?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded over 125 years ago in 1893, IATSE (in short) is a labor union that represents over 140K+ technicians, artisans, and craftspeople in the film and entertainment industry. This includes individuals in motion pictures, television, and new media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, IATSE represents the vast majority of all behind-the-scenes work in crafts on all film and television productions. It&#8217;s also basically a core component of what makes the industry run. (Traditionally, everyone from the motion picture animator to the theater usher is included.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its relationship with the AMPTP, which itself was founded almost 100 years ago in 1924, has been off-and-on-strenuous over the years. The two are constantly in negotiations for wages, compensations, benefits, and other bargaining agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-current-situation\"><span id=\"the-current-situation\">The Current Situation<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are fighting to ensure that the most powerful media corporations on the planet treat the film and tv workers who produce their content with basic human dignity.<br><br>RT if you stand with us in this fight.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mN96UCLF29\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/mN96UCLF29<\/a><\/p>&mdash; IATSE \/\/ #IASolidarity (@IATSE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IATSE\/status\/1440359785228951570?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the start of the pandemic, and ramping up over the past few months and weeks, IATSE has been more vocal about the state of the industry. The pandemic caused productions to, at first, shut down, then subsequently start up on tighter schedules and with more safety precautions and restrictions\u2014often without added budget or time allotted for crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest concern for many in the union has to do with the time spent on set, long hours, and short turnarounds for professionals. These factors understandably create unsafe work environments for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the most recent messaging from IATSE, they&#8217;ve called for a strike. This would be the largest labor shutdown in Hollywood since the writers\u2019 strike almost fifteen years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From IATSE directly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Yesterday, after months of negotiating, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) announced it does not intend to make any counteroffer to our most recent proposals.

A strike could see some 60,000 IATSE members walk off the job, which could shut down the majority of film and television productions in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The economic repercussions could be huge. Any stalled productions will further push back the majority of film releases and titles already delayed or cancelled due to the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s important not to frame this from the producers\u2019 prospective completely. IATSE is indeed doing its job of standing up for its members and their clearly unsafe working conditions. A strike authorization vote is expected to commence beginning on October 1st, 2021, with expected results announced on October 4th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the vote goes through, the strike will undoubtedly cause a major shutdown in the industry, while (at the same time) forcing the hands of producers and the media companies to meet the demands of IATSE, if they want to keep productions on-going and on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"iatse-stories\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">IATSE Stories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last several weeks, the Instagram handle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ia_stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">ia_stories<\/a> has blown up in popularity because of the nature of the stories contributed to the account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CT2k-VePcqj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
