IATSE Contract Talks Pause, No Deal Reached Yet
IATSE and major Hollywood studios have paused negotiations over the Area Standards Agreement without reaching a deal. Talks are expected to resume later in June. Key issues include wage increases, AI usage, and improved benefits. The agreement, covering 20,000 members, expires on July 31, and IATSE may call for a strike authorization vote if no deal is reached by then.
