In a year filled with negotiations and strike action, workers, unions and politicians from around the GTA were in downtown Toronto Monday to celebrate Labour Day.
That includes Toronto actors, like Amy Matysio. Her union, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists Toronto, has been locked out of work on commercials by the Institute of Canadian Agencies for 860 days. They're currently negotiating their national commercial agreement.She says thousands of actors are now facing an "existential crisis" as they're unable to find ad work.
But participating in the Labour Day parade, she said, is "a great reminder that when we show up for others, others will show up for us."
