In a surprise move, North American producers have secured a deal with British Columbia film guilds and unions to accept a 5 percent wage increase in return for extending their respective agreements for another year to March 31, 2025.
That agreement between the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) and its local counterpart, the B.C. branch of the Canadian Media Producers Association, and local representatives for IATSE 891, IATSE 669, Teamsters 155, the Directors Guild of Canada’s B.C. branch and Ubcp/Actra, must now go out to ratification votes by the wider memberships.
“As a collective, we agreed to the extension in exchange for a 5 percent matching wage increase in line with what the DGA (Directors Guild of America) established with their new agreement,” Crystal Braunwarth, a business representative for IATSE 891, told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday.
The Dgc’s B.C. branch is also going out to its membership after agreeing to a potential contract extension.
