The vote here comes during the ongoing Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the Writers Guild of America strikes.
Hollywood North has some labour peace in its future as B.C. TV and film unions — including actors — approved a proposal from American and Canadian producers to extend their respective labour agreements to March 31, 2025, in return for a five per cent wage increase.
“It was important to know that our members favoured delaying our negotiations in favour of stability for the year,” Ellie Harvie, UBCP/ACTRA president, said in an email. The vote here comes during the ongoing Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the Writers Guild of America strikes that have shut down the industry.
“Right now is a challenging time for many of us in the entertainment industry. We are now collectively in a very difficult position to exercise long-term vision and a greater scope of multiple issues that have been building against us within the rapidly changing industry, while at the same time being faced with the urgency for a renewal of workflow as soon as possible,” said Leah Gibson, an actor and Victoria native who splits her time between B.C. and Los Angeles.
