In fact there are reports that schedules abroad could also be affected. Already about 40 shoots have been cancelled in the city.

Members of this federation that is heading the strike demand that wages should increase every year and should be paid regularly. Dancers, junior artists, spot boys, light handlers should be paid on a daily basis, and people who are not members of the federation should not be employed.

About 22 different associations are a part of this federation.
