IATSE members employed at four Fox TV stations in New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., have ratified a new three-year contract, bringing to a close one of the longest-running contract negotiations of all time.
Union officials say that the tentative agreement, which was reached in April, followed 11 years of on-again off-again bargaining and 15 years without their members receiving a cost-of-living increase.
The new contract, which covers behind-the-scenes news crews and broadcast television technicians, includes 12% wage increases in the first year, 2% increases in the second and third years, matching 401(k) contributions and maintained premium pay for per-diem workers. The union said the new agreement will “bring much-needed relief to workers who have been grappling with rising inflation while putting themselves in harm’s way to deliver breaking news to the New York and Washington D.C. metros.”

Eleven years of negotiations. Fifteen years without a cost-of-living raise. Our dedication cannot be questioned at this point. It was very important for our members to receive some financial relief. This contract, while by no means perfect does at least provide that.”
Said IATSE Local 794 business agent Nick Kroudis: “Getting a deal done now was extremely important for our

Plus a ton of snaps.
