IATSE) is holding a vote on whether the 1,500 people on a so-called pink contract should go on strike. The move has been taken after the talks between Disney Theatrical Productions and Broadway League came to an end without a conclusion. If the majority votes for the strike, 1500 people working in 45 theatrical shows with 28 productions on Broadway and 17 on Tour will join the strike, bringing the filming job to a standstill. The IATSE has said that if the deal is not struck, these workers will begin the strike on Friday. To go for a strike, the unions must get at least 75 percent yes votes, but it doesn’t mean necessarily going on the strike. The negotiations may take palace and the majority vote may be a ploy to warn and show strength for a better bargain. The pink workers are generally employed directly by the production houses and either they work out of the city or go on a tour. They are covered under IATSE Local One. Talking to journalists, IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb said that the pink workers need to show unity and strength to ensure they get better wages and the working conditions that they deserve. The previous contract came into effect on July 1, 2019, and it ceased to exist on July 2, 2023. The first negotiation was held on May 25, when the two sides sat, talked, and held negotiations for 19 hours. Some progress was made in the negotiations, particularly on the issues of healthcare and housing for the touring workers. But wage hikes and the daily and weekly rest periods are some of the sticking points. A spokesperson for the Broadway League, an association of producers and managers, refused to comment.
