IATSE has filed another charge against the Kravis Center with the National Labor Relations Board. IATSE claims that the Kravis Center has failed to execute an agreement reached with the union in January.

Should the NLRB find that an agreement was reached, the usual remedy would be to compel the Center to sign the agreement.
