The guild represents 1,700 creative and logistical personnel in B.C.’s film and television industry, ranging from entry-level production assistants to directors, and has been negotiating with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Canadian Media Producers Association since the last collective agreement expired in March 2021.
It is the guild’s first strike vote and if successful, a strike would halt all productions across B.C. “Despite our willingness to compromise on significant issues, they kept moving the goalposts, making it impossible to get a fair deal for our people.”
