Here's a rundown on everything we know about the new IATSE contract
The deal provides a 10-hour turnaround time between shifts for all workers on all projects. Some said workers have as little as eight or nine hours of minimum turnaround under the current agreement. But most workers already have 10, so it will not be a gain for them. The deal also provides a 54-hour weekend rest period, which is intended to curb “Fraturday” shifts — late Friday shifts that go until Saturday morning.
The union expects this will curb the most egregious situations, because productions will opt to provide a meal break rather than pay the steep new penalties. But some deep-pocketed productions could still schedule long days with no breaks, and budget in the increased penalty. A great many members, meanwhile, will not experience this as a change at all, since they rarely go beyond eight hours without a meal break or beyond 20 penalties in a week.
There is an increase in wages for streaming shows, which will bring rates on streaming productions closer to parity with traditional productions — though not ending the streaming discount entirely. This varies somewhat by guild, but in some cases streaming productions will no longer track with old “movie of the week” formulas, which are lower than the standard rates.
