The
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE)
members, which include lighting technicians and costume
designers, are to ratify the deal with the Alliance of Motion
Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents
Disney, Netflix and others.
The terms of the agreement include scale-rate increases of 7%,
4%, and 3.5% over the three-year term, the union said.
On the AI front, the deal includes "language that ensures no
employee is required to provide Al prompts in any manner that
would result in the displacement of any covered employee."
In late 2023, the SAG-AFTRA actors union and the studios reached
a labor agreement which ended a near six-month dispute that had
halted film and TV production.
That contract also provided for pay raises and streaming bonuses
that union leaders said amounted to more than $1 billion over
three years, and also included protection around the use of AI
in filmmaking.
