UBCP/ACTRA - DO NOT WORK NOTICE - CROWD-SOURCED FEATURE

 

DO NOT WORK NOTICE
“DAEDALUS MELON IN REBEL BIKERS VS VAMPIRES FROM VENUS”

Thursday, August 22, 2024
 
Attention all Talent Agents and UBCP/ACTRA Members:
 
Please be advised that the project titled “Daedalus Melon in Rebel Bikers vs Vampires from Venus”,  is not signatory to any UBCP/ACTRA agreements. As such, this production is currently non-union.
 
It is a contravention of the UBCP/ACTRA By-laws and Constitution for a union member to audition or work on any non-union production in recorded media. A member must only work for an engager who is signatory to a collective agreement.

Accordingly, there are significant consequences for full members, apprentice members, and background members found to be auditioning for, or working on, a non-union production. There are also consequences for talent agencies found to be directing members to non-union work.
 
We recognize and appreciate the many members and agents who stand in solidarity with UBCP/ACTRA, particularly by refusing to participate in this and other non-union productions. We will update you if an agreement with the producer has been signed.
 
If you have any questions, please reach out to filmandtv@ubcpactra.ca  

In solidarity,

UBCP/ACTRA
