Labor Conditions in the Entertainment Industry

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 2, 2021

Since this summer, the entertainment industry has been embroiled in a labor dispute over working conditions. The studios and the workers' union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employee, reached a détente in mid-October, averting a strike that would have brought most production across the country to a halt. Almost a week after that strike was averted, the conversation about conditions on-set was compounded by a fatal accident involving a functioning firearm used as a prop on the set of the film "Rust." Variety reporter Gene Maddaus joins to talk about working conditions in the entertainment industry.
