R.S. Owens & Co. President Responds to Union Accusations
"We're the only unionized awards company left in the United States, and we feel it's unfortunate that union management has never lifted a finger to help us as one entertainment award after another has moved to China," he said.
The teamsters' press release coincided with production of the Oscar statuettes, during a week when a Hollywood film crew was at the R.S. Owens & Co. factory to shoot footage for the ceremony. Although a union representative hinted at the possibility of a strike to Huffington Post, Siegel said there would be no delays in production, neither for the Academy Awards nor for distributors.
