The Association of Independent Commercial Producers has agreed to a process by which the Stand With Production group can be voluntarily recognized.
“AICP can confirm that it has entered into a Neutrality Agreement with IATSE,” the organization said in a statement tor. “AICP has agreed that if it is truly the will of our trusted employees to be represented by a union for their engagement, then we will engage in negotiations to attempt to find reasonable terms of employment.”
In this case, the AICP also agreed as part of the deal to voluntarily recognize the union if the group collects a majority of union cards, in a process overseen by a third-party arbitrator. Production workers on TV commercials will need to have worked two jobs in the last 12 months to be eligible to sign cards.
“The AICP has signed a neutrality agreement concerning Stand With Production, finally giving freelance TV commercial production workers nationwide a fair opportunity to democratically decide whether we want a union for ourselves,” Stand With Production told supporters on Friday. “In other words, we are NOW closer than ever to opening the pathway to basic standards afforded to our unionized co-workers.
