A strike that could have stopped the filming of some of the world’s most popular television shows and movies has been averted in last-minute talks, IgbereTV reports.
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), representing some 40,000 behind-the-scenes film workers, said it reached a tentative three-year agreement late Saturday with an alliance representing producers.
In a statement on the union website, IATSE international president Matthew Loeb welcomed the deal as a “Hollywood ending,” adding, “Our members stood firm.”
The agreement requires ratification by union members.
The studio group — the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers — confirmed the agreement to CNN but offered no details
