The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) has initiated a series of simultaneous negotiations with multiple studios, involving various locals including the Cinematographers and Art Directors' Guilds. The talks, which resumed recently, have already seen progress with the Cinematographers Guild reaching a tentative agreement with studios on issues specific to their craft. This agreement, concerning 'Local 600 specific issues', marks a significant step forward in the negotiations and involves a new contract with the AMPTP. The Art Directors Guild is also in discussions, with a tentative deal reached on 'Local 800 specific portions' of the IATSE General Agreement. These developments come amidst concerns of another labor-intensive summer in Hollywood, indicating a potential for resolution in the ongoing industry-wide negotiations.
