Hollywood’s Iatse Votes to Ratify Its New Contract, but Controversy Remains

After ending a constant tension between the biggest union and the studio that clearly affected the strike action taken last month. It has now finally been resolved by IATSE for another union and probably a new one after constant negotiations being done for months.

However, after the vote, it was clear that IATSE’s members could never be completely sure about the recent deal, and which in turn means that this plan might not work for a long-term proposal for helping workers.

According to the reports, this new deal provides a total of  54 hours weekend plan or rest periods along with at least 10-hour changes between shifts including all the members. Other than that a total of 3% raise annually will also be provided along with raised pay for all the member who has the lowest pay.
