But after 11 days, the 350 freelance broadcast technicians repre- sented by IATSE were back to work with a new two-year con- tract that the union said in- creases employer health insur- ance contributions and brings wages “closer to industry stan- dard rates.” IATSE credited IBEW and NABET-CWA for honoring picket lines. Two local union-made TV series premiere this month The hit TV show Grimm ended its sixth and final season last year, but IATSE Local 488 re- ports that local studio mechanics have been keeping busy. Season one of HBO’s new comedy- drama series Here and Now premieres Feb. 11. Starring Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter, it’s set in the Portland area (though shot mostly in LA). And a brand new Netflix series, Everything Sucks, begins streaming Feb. 16. There’s more to come: Sea- son 2 of the Netflix hit Ameri- can Vandal is gearing up to film in Portland.
