The IA and AMPTP Reach Agreement

Per Deadline (and some outside sources) the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have come to a deal for the industry-wide Basic Agreement:

IATSE and management’s AMPTP have reached an agreement on a new film and TV contract. The new three-year deal, which still has to be ratified by the 43,000 members of the union’s 13 Hollywood locals, averts a threatened strike that would have crippled film and TV production across the country.

[N]ot everyone is happy with it. Sources say that Cathy Repola, executive director of IATSE Editors Guild Local 700, is especially displeased with the deal. “It’s not a deal that Cathy would want,” said a Local 700 source. ...

So now it's ratification time and ballots will need to be sent out. And the campaigning for ratification (or not) will begin.

Update: Deadline has an update on the Editors Guild's unhappiness with the deal here.
