The International was successful in obtaining a three year national agreement with Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, effective October 1, 1997.  The agreement covered all long-form television programs in the United States by Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions/McGee Street Productions.  Additionally, there is a commitment by the company to notify the International of all its product in Canada and enter into discussions for such work.

The International experienced a number of disputes in the past with Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, an historically non-union company.
