As Hollywood’s major unions gird for potentially contentious contract negotiations with the major studios, streaming giant Netflix is moving to hash out its own labor deals that could give it a competitive advantage in the event of a strike.
Netflix has the ability to go it alone in labor negotiations because unlike Hollywood studios such as Disney — as well as tech rivals Apple and Amazon — it does not belong to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , the collective bargaining group that represents studios in negotiations with unions representing actors, writers and directors.
“If they pushed us to a strike, the threat that Netflix or another company would make an interim deal and keep producing new product is very real,” wrote President David Goodman in his candidate statement earlier this year.As it has bulked up in other areas, Netflix has also taken steps to build its own labor relations team.
“The studios just have a different distribution model than Netflix and when they are at the table, they have an entirely different set of concerns,” said Schuyler Moore, a partner at Los Angeles law firm Greenberg Glusker.Advertisement Despite concerns about how streaming has changed compensation, some unions believe they can benefit from deals with Netflix.
