Reference is made to Paragraph 50, "Promotions," of the 1988
Producer-Studio Transportation Drivers, Local #399 Agreement.
During the 1988 negotiations between the Producers and Local #399,
it was agreed that the Producers would not employ additional Gang
Bosses as a subterfuge to avoid hiring drivers in accordance with
the seniority provisions of the Agreement. At the same time, the
parties recognized and acknowledged that there are situations in
which more than one First "On Production" Gang Boss is legitimately
employed on a production.
It is impossible to set forth an exhaustive list of these situations.
Accordingly, the following examples are mentioned in an
effort to provide guidelines for the conduct of the industry in
this area:
(1) An additional First "On Production" Gang Boss may be
properly employed on a production where production is scheduled
to take place in diverse locations. For instance, a Producer may
choose to employ a First "On Production" Gang Boss in Los Angeles
and another in Seattle where production is scheduled in both cities.
(2) An additional First "On Production" Gang Boss may be
employed where there is more than one (1) shooting unit. As an
example, in episodic television, when episodes are being shot
"back-to-back," the Producer may employ a First "On Production"
Gang Boss on the first episode and another on the second episode.
