"Hollywood Braces for Potential Strike as IATSE and Teamsters Rally"

Hollywood union leaders, including IATSE and Teamsters, warned of a potential strike this summer if the studios fail to reach a deal before crew contracts expire on July 31. Negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are set to begin, with a focus on health and pension benefits, wage increases, and "quality of life" issues. The use of artificial intelligence and concerns about job security were also highlighted at a rally attended by over 2,000 crew members.
