Film and TV workers left the job site on Friday uncertain of when they would return, as negotiators were expected to work through the weekend in hopes of avoiding a crippling strike.
The mood on set Friday felt almost like a wrap party before a hiatus, said Joe Martinez, a member of Local 44 who makes props for shows like “The Mandalorian” and “For All Mankind.” He spent much of his day packing up crates of manufacturing equipment and loading them on a truck to bring home. Many crew members are fired up for a strike, but Martinez said there was also a somber undercurrent, as crews went home to await instructions from the union.
The two sides continued to exchange proposals, and some union officials expressed some guarded optimism about reaching a deal. The bargaining largely revolves around issues like lunch breaks and rest periods, though the union is also looking to increase wages for streaming service productions and for low-paid employees.
The strike would be felt across the country, with 60,000 workers from coast to coast walking off the job. The union scheduled several solidarity events over the weekend, in New York, Chicago and Atlanta, and was also set to train strike captains. If a strike is called, workers would picket from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with picket duty divided into three four-hour shifts.
