EXCLUSIVE: Crisis averted! The Daytime Emmys will go on as planned, after IATSE threatened to picket over the production’s use of a majority non-union crew on Friday.
IATSE leadership met with the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Friday afternoon in an effort to reach an agreement prior to showtime. Deadline understands the deal was reached around 3 p.m. PT, just two hours before the awards show was set to begin.

The union’s current contract is set to expire on July 31, so there is still
