Why do you have hiring priority?

In effect since August 2024, the collective agreements between AQTIS 514 IATSE and the AQPM for film, television, and new media include major gains for you.

Mandatory Hiring of a Minimum Number of Recognized Members

Previously, producers only had to worry about the number of permit holders they hired. Thanks to this new agreement, they are now required to hire 80% of recognized members for the roles being filled.

The agreement includes financial penalties for productions that do not respect this ratio.

AN AGREEMENT GOES TWO WAYS

This agreement is the result of negotiations with the AQPM. It demonstrates the power of our association and proves, once again, that our unity allows us to secure fairer and more favorable working conditions for our members.

This new clause is a recognition of the value of your experience and professionalism.

Where does this money go?

This money is transferred to the Audiovisual Sector Training Mutual Fund.

This fund's mandate is, among other things, to offer specialized training to audiovisual professionals so they can acquire new skills or retrain, thereby increasing their employability in our industry.
