Union settles with 'Biggest Loser' producers

The dispute started a couple of weeks ago when camera operators, carpenters, make-up pros and other members of the production staff joined the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Series co-producer Reveille had recognized the Directors Guild of America and the Alliance of Film, TV and Radio Artists, but not IATSE. Workers walked off their jobs and trued to disrupt production of the series. Terms of today's agreement were not disclosed. From the Wrap:

"This agreement is a positive step forward for the crew of 'The Biggest Loser,' especially in the area of health benefits," said Mike Miller, VP and director of the film and TV division of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. "We are pleased to see them go back to work." Added Lee Rierson, managing director and head of business operations for series co-producer Reveille: "We have reached a fair agreement with (IATSE), while managing to avoid significant disruption to the production, and are happy to see our entire crew working together again."
