One of Hollywood's largest entertainment payroll companies -- Axium International Inc. -- abruptly ceased operation and will not make be able to make this week's payroll to hundreds of Louisiana film workers. Many IATSE movie mechanics, Teamsters and others returning to the set of
Sony Picture's Jack Black-starrer Year One set to shoot in Shreveport, were told today that their paychecks are delayed due to the liquidation and bankruptcy of the production company's payroll service. Axium, the third largest entertainment payroll company simultaneously shutdown of offices in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Burbank, London and Vancouver. According to the Chapter 7 petition filed Tuesday in Los Angeles, the company claims it does not have the liquidity to continue operating. The company did return calls placed by Nola.com to their Los Angeles or Burbank offices.
According to an article in the
Los Angeles Times, many Axium clients who were required to deposit a percentage of payroll amounts to be processed by the Los Angeles company may not see return of their money anytime soon. The article says that court-appointment bankruptcy trusteed, Howard Ehrenberg does not anticipate refund of any monies to production companies "in the immediate future."
Ehrenberg told the Los Angeles Times that Axium's largest creditor, Golden Tree Asset Management, a New York investment firm, seized $22 million from company accounts that had secured a $140-million loan on which Axium defaulted.
"The timing couldn't have been worse as most of us have just spent the two week imposed hiatus celebrating the holidays at home with our families. The production company didn't pay us for the two-week break. They were supposed to pay us for drive time and per diem before we left for the holidays, but that didn't happen. None of this pay was reflected in the paycheck for the last week before the break -- and now everyone is on edge waiting for payroll to come through," a carpenter on Year One told Nola.com.

University of Delaware, Newark

This study introduces the concept of partnership for fair labor management, which has been identified as critical for further improvement in labor management in the apparel and footwear industry. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of a firm's strategic emphases on its partnership behavior for fair labor management. An exploratory scale of partnership was developed based on what has been found in practice and the buyer-seller relationship literature. A self-administered survey through mail was conducted to gather data from 209 sourcing managers from U.S. firms. Six types of strategic emphases (i.e., supply control, image differentiation, focus, quality differentiation, product development, and low price) were identified. Firms with supply control, image differentiation, and product development strategic emphases were more engaged in partnership, whereas ones with a low-price emphasis were less engaged in partnership relationships. The role of strategic emphases as well as control variables, including size and the extent of foreign sourcing, are discussed in relation to partnership behavior for fair labor management.
