Teamsters & Studios Reach Agreement on New Three-Year Contract

It was too close to the deadline for comfort, but the Teamsters and the studios had a deal.

After lengthy negotiations involving more than a handful of management and labor leaders, Teamsters Local 399 announced just before midnight Saturday that Hollywood Basic Crafts and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers had reached an agreement.

A temporary agreement that.

“After the last 48 hours, we are proud to report that ALL Hollywood Basics Crafts locals have reached a brief agreement with AMPTP this evening,” said Local 399 led by Lindsay Dougherty late on July 27. “Basics Crafts we spent today working closely with our negotiating committees. led by members to finalize an agreement with AMPTP that we can now say is unanimously recommended by our member-led negotiation committees.”

“More information to follow tomorrow afternoon after the Teamsters Local 399 General Membership Meeting.”
