If you want more info about this, here are several articles and an instagram account posting grievances. Much of this stuff is straight up 19th century robber baron tactics. I'm surprised their haven't been stories of lock doors (yet). Support from unions, a U.S. congressman, celebrities, and average people like you and me.

A form put out by IATSE, it's open to everyone who supports the union: Tell AMPTP to Give Film and Television Workers a Fair Deal
Other outlets have reported that the vote will take place electronically from October 1-3. They need 75% approval from the locals to authorize striking as an option.
Here are some other articles that are good too:
Cinematographers Guild Urges Members to Back IATSE Strike Authorization Vote
Hollywood Unions Show Solidarity Ahead of Strike Vote: ‘We Stand With IATSE’
Editors Guild Urges Members To “Overwhelmingly” Approve IATSE Strike Authorization
Celebs rally for IATSE: 'Now is the time to speak for the people who make it possible'
I haven't read this one, but might be a good article: IATSE: Everything You Need to Know About the Union Planning a Historic Hollywood Walkout
