long hours, streaming residuals, higher pay rates for low-wage workers, and the stability of the pension and health plans. Many of these issues have come up in repeatedly in previous negotiations, but the union is taking a much harder line than it has previously.
Assuming it passes, the strike authorization would not lead directly to a strike. Instead, IATSE’s negotiators would seek to reopen talks, and would use the vote as evidence that the membership stands squarely behind their position. But Matthew D. Loeb, the international president of the union, would have the power to call a strike if the AMPTP is unresponsive.
