The deal came approximately an hour after members had voted unanimously to authorize a strike against the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pleased that the Met came to the table and agreed to treat our members fairly,\u201d said Local 798 Business Representative Daniel Dashman. \u201cThe Met Opera hair and makeup crew is among the finest I\u2019ve ever seen. Nobody wanted to shut down the performances, but we were ready to do what we had to do to get this deal for our members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A major sticking point settled by the agreement was a pay discrepancy between the union\u2019s two crafts: hair stylists have been paid a lower rate than makeup artists, despite working with the same actors on the same production, often at the same time. This disparity was corrected in the 2013 contract, but the language was later stripped out by an arbitrator. Local 798 members felt strongly about the importance of correcting this unfair situation, and makeup artists were prepared to strike to support their sisters and brothers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis deal gives Local 798\u2019s members the respect they deserve,\u201d said IATSE President Matthew D. Loeb. \u201cWhile the people who do these jobs are often out of sight backstage, their work is on view for thousands every day. By making this deal, the Met has shown that they respect the professionals who keep their shows going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two sides met for several hours on Tuesday, and were unable to reach an agreement. That meeting was the first since December of 2018, and Met Management had not updated their proposals since that time. There were several meetings over the intervening days, eventually resulting in a deal on Friday morning. The Met\u2019s contract with its makeup artists and hair stylists expired last year.<\/p>\n<p>Makeup and hair styling are especially important to The Met: Live in HD, the opera\u2019s signature live broadcast to cinemas nationwide, in partnership with Fathom Events. The Met is scheduled to broadcast a live performance of Wagner\u2019s Die Walk\u00fcre on Saturday, which may have been disrupted by a strike. That performance will now go on as scheduled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a Unanimous Strike Vote, Met Management Came Back to the Table to Make a Deal NEW YORK, NY \u2013 Members of Local 798 of the International Alliance of Theatrical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[22],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
