SUPPORTING FELLOW UNION MEMBERS S AG-AFTRA stood in support of post- production editors who lost their jobs for exercising their legal right to strike and organize with International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Editors Guild Local 700. Post-production employees of Bravo's reality TV series Shahs of Sunset went on strike Sept. 11 against the show's producers to secure a union contract and health benefits. The strikers were fired shortly thereafter. On Oct. 10, IATSE Local 700 and Ryan Seacrest Productions reached a deal that concluded the monthlong strike. The crew has returned to work under an IATSE contract and production of the show has resumed. Los Angeles
