The IATSE will be holding a strike authorization vote that could see stagehands, make-up artists, and wardrobe personnel taking to the picket lines.
As the wheels of Hollywood come to a screeching halt amid the historic Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild strike, all the way across the country the lights of Broadway may go out. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees will be taking their strike authorization vote on Wednesday and Thursday, and, should a strike be announced, picketing could begin as soon as Friday.
The news comes following negotiations that began on May 25 for the previous contract which was in effect from July 1, 2019, through July 2, 2023. For almost 20 days, the union has been working under the previous contract’s terms but with its negotiations with the Broadway League and Disney Theatrical Productions stalling, the IATSE is prepared to take things into its own hands.
Even if the majority vote is in favor of a strike, the final decision falls to the IATSE President. But, either way, should the union reach at least 75 percent “yes” votes reach at least 75 percent “yes” votes, it will act as a terrific bargaining chip in their fight for fairness. Those who fall under this pink contract consist of somewhere around 1,500 workers in the roles of stagehands, hair and make-up artists, and wardrobe personnel.
The IATSE movement comes just months following a strike authorization vote from Actors’ Equity for their touring contract with Broadway League. A good sign for those now approaching a similar vote, Actors’ Equity was able to come to an agreement, forming a new contract in April.
