Dear Local 44 Sisters and Brothers,
After months of difficult and complicated negotiations, the Joint Unions (IATSE, DGA, Teamsters), and the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP), have announced the finalization of the highly anticipated COVID-19 Commercial Production Safety and Testing Protocol Agreement. We have combined both the summary as well as the full contractual language for your convenience here. You will also find the accompanying full Appendix A document regarding AICP COVID-19 workplace guidelines and considerations here. This agreement was reached late in the day December 1st, and will go into effect on December 15th. Take care.
In Solidarity,
Tobey Bays
Business Agent
