New York, NY – Atlantic Theater Company and The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) are pleased to announce a tentative agreement covering nearly one-hundred production workers employed by the company. This tentative agreement is pending approval via ratification by the workers.
The proposed agreement includes significant compensation increases including comprehensive benefits that both parties believe reflect the essential contributions of the production crew to Atlantic Theater Company’s success. Full details will be made available to the workers and organization stakeholders in the coming days.
Ultimately, after extensive discussions and dialogue, the Atlantic Theater Company is poised to become the first not-for-profit theater company producing solely Off-Broadway in history to have a union agreement covering production classifications.
