Last week, IATSE and AMPT started negotiations on a new Hollywood Basic Agreement. In a joint press release IATSE and AMPTP reported that they held extensive discussions on new media, minimums and the pension and health plans, including the impact of the 2006 Pension Protection Act on funding standards. IATSE and AMPTP have agreed to recess the negotiations to accommodate previously agreed-upon bargaining sessions with SAG and AFTRA. AMPTP and SAG are scheduled to start negotiations today.



“These talks have been extremely helpful in understanding the fundamental issues before us in an environment that has been conducive to bargaining,” IATSE International President Thomas C. Short said. “We look forward to the resumption of negotiations with AMPTP and to securing a contract that will benefit our membership.”
