An overwhelming majority of film and TV workers have given the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees permission to strike if the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers doesn’t offer them a better deal.
The 60,000 crew members representing 13 Locals who often work 16-18 hour days are seeking shorter hours, wage scales and better health and pension benefits. But those are just a few of the issues on the negotiating table.
It is the first time in the 128-year history of the union that a strike has been authorized, but crew members are ready for what lies ahead. Here they share their stories, why they voted yes and why they stand in solidarity with their fellow crew members.

The thing that I love the most in life, has to stop being the thing that causes me to have no personal life.
The strike scares the shit out of me.
