also moving to develop internal procedures and capabilities that will allow it to run more efficiently. Finally, the Department is moving to build greater solidarity among the various broadcast Locals through increased contact. Co-Directors Belsky and O’Hern will convene a broadcast summit in Chicago in October to allow Local broadcast officials to meet, network, and discuss together issues of importance to all members. President Loeb thanked the Department for its report. He remarked that corporate-level changes are prominent in this industry, which the International is watching carefully. However, organizing is often the solution to challenges arising from industry change. The Alliance has negotiated good contracts offering retirement and health benefits, but members must continue to organize to move our vision forward. While the International will always support its Locals, it is likely time for some Locals to assert more autonomous control over their jurisdictions. IATSE CANADIAN AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT International Vice President and Director of Canadian Affairs John Lewis, International Vice President Damian Petti, International Representatives Julia Neville, Peter DaPrato, Jim Brett, Jason Vergnano, Krista Hurdon and Jeremy Salter, Canadian Labour Congress Delegate Siobhan Vipond, IATSE Canadian Office Manager Nate Richmond, Canadian Legal Counsel Ernie Schirru, District 12 sponsored attendee IATSE Local 300 Business Agent Kim Warren and District 11 sponsored attendees IATSE Local 357 Business Agent Larry Miller and IATSE Local 411 Business Agent Anne Paynter reported to the General Executive Board on Canadian matters (not covered in separate reports) since the last General Executive Board meeting in Austin, Texas. Vice President Lewis began the Canadian Report by reviewing status charts identifying the various formal and informal assignments the Canadian staff has been engaged in since the last General Executive Board meetings. The charts confirmed that Canadian staff has been very busy working on a number of tasks including local engagement, activism, organizing, bargaining, communications, contract administration, education and teaching. Vice President Lewis then proceeded to provide a more detailed summary of certain Canadian matters. Organizing Representatives Hurdon and Salter were assigned to review and update the Canadian content of the organizing section of the International’s website with a view to making it more user friendly and accessible. It was noted that the Canadian Office has seen a spike in organizing efforts since International Representative Jeremy Salter came on board.

Office were briefly discussed, including the success of efforts to organize the British Columbia interior stage industry, the British Columbia low-budget film industry and the Quebec regional stage industry. Organizing Successes Local 58 Toronto – Stage In April 2019, Local 58 was certified as the bargaining agent for stagehands working at the Tarragon Theatre which houses a 205-seat mainspace and 113- seat extra space facility. Of particular note is the fact that the certification was the first all female bargaining unit certification in the Local’s history. In May 2019, Local 58 was certified as the bargaining agent for stagehands working at Harbourfront’s five stages – the Concert Stage, Stage in the Round, Brigantine Room, Studio Theatre and Lakeside Terrace. Local 118 Vancouver – Stage Local 118 identified a number of organizing targets on Grandville Island in British Columbia. With the assistance of the International and Representative Neville, Local 118 filed applications for certification for Boca del Lupo, Carousel Theatre for Young People and the Granville Island Theatre District Society and a common employer application covering all three corporate entities. After dispensing with a number of challenges by the theatres and the withdrawal of its related employer application, Local 118 was certified exclusive bargaining agent for Boca del Lupo in March 2019 and Carousel Theatre for Young People and Granville Island Theatre District Society in April 2019. Local 118 has since commenced bargaining for first collective agreements with each theatre with the assistance of Representative Neville. Local 212 Calgary – Stage In 2008, Local 212 organized Theatre Junction which managed a resident company in the 440-seat Grand Theatre located in downtown Calgary. In 2018, Theatre Junction ceased operating and left the premises and was replaced by Calgary Grand Theatre Society. In May 2019, Local 212 was able to secure a voluntary successorship agreement with CGTS and thereafter negotiate a renewal collective agreement which included significant wage increases for department heads and crew respectively as well as signing bonuses. Local 709 Newfoundland & Labrador - Mixed In late 2018, Local 709 was approached by non-union accountants working in the film industry in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. With the assistance of Representative DaPrato and Canadian Counsel Schirru, the Local brought the accountants into membership and have since included them in its promulgated collective agreement. The Local looks forward to these accountants working under the terms and conditions of its collective agreement on two new productions scheduled to commence production in the province in the near future. Bargaining Vice President Lewis reported that there are several active and ongoing collective bargaining agreement negotiations in which the International is assisting Locals. The Canadian Office has placed an emphasis on assisting Locals to get the bargaining table and to settle a first collective agreement faster following a successful organizing drive so as not to lose momentum and support of the affected employees. The Canadian Office is assisting in twenty-eight separate negotiations involving seventeen Locals. A number of the bargaining assignments are still open and were not reported on. Some of the concluded assignments are summarised below. Local 63 Winnipeg – Mixed In March 2019, Representative Brett assisted Local 63 in concluding a successor collective agreement with Rainbow Stage which operates a large outdoor theatrical facility in Winnipeg. Highlights of the agreement include wage parity for all heads of department, the introduction of an employer contribution to the Local’s health plan and wage increases for all classifications. Local 210 Edmonton – Stage Representative Brett assisted Local 210 in negotiating a renewal collective agreement with the Oilers Entertainment Group covering the Rogers Arena, the home of the Edmonton Oilers. Representative Brett’s assistance in this regard follows up on his previous efforts to assist the Local in organizing the venue and securing a first collective agreement three years ago. Highlights of the renewal collective agreement include annual wage increases over the life of the agreement.
