"They refused to propose any wage increases, vacation/sick leave accrual, progression, ratification bonus, or the 401k Match/SCRC Contribution. They also would not reinstate the defined benefit pension," the IAM said in a statement.

Members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees approved the new Hollywood Basic Agreement this week by a ratification vote of 85.9% to 14.1%, with a “historically high” turnout, according to the union.

A constitutional amendment has an even steeper mountain to climb, typically requiring a two-thirds vote by both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.
