Adjacent: IA threatening to strike AMPTP over meal breaks, turnarounds

[SteveB]

Interestingly enough, the 2 major IATSE locals in the NYC area, Local 52 Studio Mechanics and USA 829 are not striking as their contracts are still in place (late Oct I think). The members will honor picket lines, but goes to show how it's a convoluted issue, not every IATSE local has a contract issue with AMPTP. Not to say the hours are not nuts. A Local 52 friend worked a 13 straight day shift of 12 hrs. per day. At 66 years of age, that's not healthy

Especially unhealthy when you include his commute time to 'n fro'.
Toodleoo!
