IATSE took to Twitter today, excoriating the AMPTP and the giant media conglomerates for failing to address “the most grievous problems in their workplaces”

Here is the text of the union’s tweets today; see the actual posts below:

“Additionally, workers on so called ‘new media’ streaming projects get paid less, even on productions with budgets that rival or exceed those of traditionally released blockbusters. Streaming is here. ‘New Media’ isn’t so new anymore. IATSE Says It Received More Than 50 Reports Of 14-Hour Workdays In First 7 Months Of 2021: “Likely Just The Tip Of The Iceberg”

“In response to the AMPTP’s tactics, IATSE members are mobilizing in preparation for a nationwide strike authorization vote to demonstrate our commitment to achieving the change that is long overdue in this industry.”
