After Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of “Rust,” many of the cinematographer’s fellow IATSE members saw the tragedy as a cautionary tale. With allegations that producers put budget ahead of safety and crew that walked off the job in protest of working conditions, members say “Rust” was an obvious disaster in the making, one that might have been prevented with fundamental, industrywide change — the theme of the union’s grassroots movement that saw 98 percent of its voting membership approve strike ratification.
But less than a week before Hutchins’ death, IATSE and the AMPTP struck a deal that fell far short of the transformative vision many members hoped for. The eleventh-hour deal came just hours before IATSE was set to call a strike that would have roiled Hollywood.
Now, 60,000 crafts workers covered by two contracts in Hollywood and across the country begin voting today on whether to ratify the contract.
