Overview

• The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800, and the International Cinematographers Guild Local 600 have both reached tentative agreements with studios on local-specific issues.
• Negotiations for the IATSE 2024 Basic Agreement, which covers Local 800 specifically, concluded after three days, while Local 600's deal was reached after just three days of direct talks.
• The current contracts for IATSE locals expire on July 31, with negotiations for other locals, including the Motion Picture Editors Guild (Local 700), ongoing.
• The agreements must be ratified by members, a process that will not begin until after general terms for IATSE's contract are agreed upon in May.
• IATSE has stated it has no interest in extending talks past the July 31 deadline, aiming to avoid the delays and near-strike situation of 2021.
