Eighty-nine percent of members voted in favor of the new 'Black Book' deal in a contest whose turnout was 'one of the highest in the Local’s recent history,' according to Teamsters Local 399.
Members also ratified an addendum agreement to the “Black Book” contract that covers chef assistants and chef assistant-drivers on film and television productions in a separate vote on Wednesday. For that vote, with 72 percent voter turnout, 98.4 percent of members voted “yes” and 1.6 percent voted “no.”
“Our rank-and-file members have been with us every step of the way throughout these negotiations,” Teamsters Local 399 recording secretary and lead negotiator Lindsay Dougherty said in a statement. “Our goal as the negotiating committee was to address our members’ core issues and leave no money on the table… Our members ultimately had the final say on their contract.
Like the IATSE agreement that preceded it, the new “Black Book” deal addresses certain issues pertaining to rest and safety and work-life balance. The agreement implements financial penalties for weekend turnarounds that are shorter than 54 hours, adds triple-time overtime wages for 16 elapsed hours, institutionalizes a budget-based media sideletter, adds Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a holiday and offers a $3 cell phone allowance each day.
