IATSE members employed at Young People’s Theatre in Toronto ratified their first collective agreement on June 9th.
The agreement reflects the commitment of the membership and their representatives to securing fair wages, improved working conditions, and greater stability for theatre workers at Canada’s oldest and largest theatres for young audiences.
“We are proud of the dedication and solidarity shown by the members throughout certification, bargaining, and ratification. We thank all nine certifying members for their leadership and commitment, and especially recognize Maeve Byrnes and Christopher Jakobs for their contributions throughout this process and their active involvement as young workers in the local,” said Michelle DiCesare, Business Agent for IATSE Local 822.
