It was getting a little too close to the deadline for comfort, but the Teamsters and the studios have a deal.

After a long final sprint of talks that had more than a few executives and laborleaders on edge, Teamsters Local 399 announced just before midnight Saturday that the Hollywood Basic Crafts and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached an agreement.

A tentative agreement that is. A tentative agreement that sources on both sides confirm, but are keeping the details very close for now to the proverbial chest.
