The Union representing tens of thousands of Hollywood workers has been holding a historic strike authorization vote that could ultimately bring the industry to a screeching stand still ! The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees , which represents Hollywood TV and Film workers across the U.S. and Canada , began sending out ballots last Friday morning asking members whether or not the union has permission to authorize a strike on the members behalf. If it is strike is approved , it means IATSE's leaders will have been given member authorization to implement a strike at some point in the future if talks continue to stall. A strike of this proportion , if approved , could have major impact on Hollywood and the entertainment world! Now this doesn't mean a strike would start immediately. Results and more information are expected sometime today. (Monday 10/2)
