Warner Bros proposes 'greenfields' feature film crew agreement
Warner Bros has proposed a ‘greenfields’ crew agreement for offshore feature film. A greenfields agreement is made directly between the union and the employer before anyone is employed, rather than by a vote of crew on a particular job.
Crew will meet nationally to consider the offer next week on Thursday, November 24 at the following locations. All screen technicians can attend but only members will be able to vote. Please RSVP.
