BARGAINING UPDATE
Dear members,
As of December 18, 2024, the BC Council of Film Unions (BCCFU) has exchanged proposals with the Negotiating Producers (AMPTP/CMPA) to review over the winter hiatus.
A big thank you to the bargaining committee, who worked through finalizing our maintable and sidetable proposals — our work is not yet finished, but we want to recognize the time and effort it takes to work through the most important thing we do for our members; preparing for, and negotiating the collective agreement.
As we head into 2025, important dates to follow:
Upon a successful tentative agreement, the BCCFU would like to hold a townhall, similar to the one we held prior to voting on the extension, to go through the new deal points and answer member questions.
We look toward the New Year with a solid team, strong proposals and membership voices top of mind as we head into negotiations.
Wishing you all the best of the holiday season.
In Solidarity,
IATSE 891

NEW APPLE BOX TALKS PODCAST: GEORGE CHAPMAN (891'S FIRST-EVER BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE)
In 2021, we sat down with the legendary George Chapman, IATSE 891's first-ever Business Representative, on our Apple Box Talks podcast. In memory of George's passing, we are releasing the episode now as we go back into our podcast archives.
George walks us through his story in both his days in the Lighting and Set Decorating departments as well as his time as Business Rep. and then as President. With a library of fascinating stories to share—such as how he was referred by John Wayne for his first job in the film industry—this is an episode you don't want to miss. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
