"Hollywood is starting to brace for a strike that would essentially shut down the entire industry on Monday morning. Talks have stalled on a new contract for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which has lately accused the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers of refusing to make enough concessions. Matthew D. Loeb, the international president of IATSE, set a strike deadline of 12:01 a.m. PT Monday if a new contract cannot be reached.

The 13 local IATSE unions on the West Coast have already been stockpiling picket signs and masks, and are preparing to set up schedules for picket duty. Those locals represent camera operators, cinematographers, publicists, costumers, makeup artists, editors, sound technicians, electricians and set painters, among other disciplines. The strike will cover 60,000 workers in the IATSE locals but will also affect about 10,000 workers in the other basic crafts unions, including the Teamsters and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers."
