The Oscar will stay American made
Honestly, it would really be sad if this were to ever change, especially since Hollywood has two high-profile unions in the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America. With that said, Teamsters Local 743 has secured their first new wages in four years.
From their press release.
Fifty Teamsters with R.S. Owens & Company in Chicago voted overwhelmingly to ratify their first new contract in four years. The three-year agreement includes the workers’ first new wage increases since 2006. The raises will be retroactive to the previous contract’s expiration on Nov. 14, with average hourly wages between $13-$14.
They not only make the Oscar award but they also make the awards handed out by MTV and the Academy of Country Music.
