The walkout would essentially shut down film and television production in North America--the union representing thousands of below-the-line employees claims that the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers is dragging its feet on new contracts:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/iatse-strike-date-set-1235028690/ As I understand it, New York is a separate contract and theoretically would not be included (although there could be sympathy strikes). Commercials, low budget indie films and premium channels contracts are also not affected. A lot of reality shows are non-union and would continue production. If my statement is correct, there could still be news shows and new Fallon, Colbert, Meyers, "View" and "TDS" on Monday. There could also be an attempt to bring scabs in on Kimmel, Corden and "The Talk," but the other unions have pretty much indicated that they are going to honor the picket lines. And the IA has been frisky in theatrical jurisdictions lately--a threatened strike at the Kennedy Center in Washington was averted last week and there was a half-day strike at a suburban Boston theater company that got settled. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
