IATSE and AMPTP Negotiate New Three-Year Deal, Preventing Industry-Wide TV/Film Strike — Get Details
https://www.countoutpod.com//post/how-the-iatse-strike-will-effect-american-wrestling-television
On Oct. 13, 2021 the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) announced that they will begin a nationwide strike on Oct. 18 if contract deal is not reached. A strike was authorized by the union members last week during a voting process. Voter turnout was 90% and of that, 98.6% voted yes to strike authorization.
If an IATSE strike were to happen, many unions, including the men and women that film WWE and AEW will no longer be working starting this Monday, Oct. 18th. Additionally, other union members, like the lighting department, will stand in solidarity with those strike, per their contract and moral standpoints. Members of SAG, WGA, DGA and Teamsters will also stand in solidarity, meaning no actors, writers, directors, or drivers will be working during the strike. WWE, AEW, and any other American Wrestling promotion that uses IATSE union crew will be forced to either find replacement crews or shut down production. They can potentially still run house show style Monday Night Raws, but even that seems up in the air.
