IATSE Local 695 Reaches Tentative Deal With Studios on Craft-Specific Issues
May 8, 2024 12:06 PM

Another IATSE Local says it has reached an agreement with studios and streamers on issues specific to its members.

Today, our Locals Bargaining Committee sat down with representatives from the AMPTP and reached a tentative agreement in our Local negotiations, IATSE Local 695 which represents production sound crew members, video engineers and projectionists told members in an email on Monday night. Our presentation focused on issues of adequate staffing, equitable pay, and on-set safety. It was supported with testimony from rank file members about the types of challenges you face at work every day. According to the Local, the talks were productive, with management represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers grappling with top issues. This resulted in meaningful gains in all areas, said the union. The Local continued, We look forward to sharing more information with you once the Memorandum of Agreement has been drafted and submitted to the Local for approval.

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to the AMPTP for comment.

The union is just the latest IATSE Local to reach a tentative craft-specific deal with studios and streamers: The previous week, the International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600), the Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800) and the motion picture set painters and sign writers union IATSE Local 729 all announced that they had settled on a provisional agreement on Local issues with the AMPTP.

This week, the Motion Picture Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700) and IATSE Locals 80 and 706 are also set to be at the bargaining table as IATSE and the AMPTP tackle Local negotiations prior to returning general negotiations on a contract that governs all 13 West Coast Locals. This phase of the process is expected to last from March 18 to April 26, IATSE said in a statement on March 19.
