IATSE Local B173

Representing Front of House and Back Room Film Exchange Employees in Toronto and Hamilton

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

The @ONgov “Roadmap to Reopening” is a dead-end for the performing arts.
We demand #FairnessForArtsON:
➡️Reopen rehearsals safely in Step 1.
➡️Allow filming in venues in Step 1.
➡️Set capacity limits based on square footage.

The arts are an essential part of our Ontario.

[IATSE Canada 🇨🇦 @IATSECANADA]

We appreciate the gvmt's broadening of EI, but many #entertainment workers need more support or remain ineligible. @IATSE Int'l VP/Dir of Cdn Affairs @JohnMorganLewis sent this to @CanadianPM @JustinTrudeau & other ministries to push for change. #COVID19

French version soon.

[IATSE Local 58 @iatse58]

Today our members joined in the Global Strike for Climate Justice. Our governments need to know that we are in a climate emergency and need to take action against this emergency.

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

B173 members joined and were inspired by the students and people of all ages who took to the streets today in this important protest. #climatestrikecanada

[John Lewis @JohnMorganLewis]

Unfortunately I am in bargaining so unable to participate in the Climate Strike March but my daughter and wife were there and bumped into some members of @IATSEB173 @IATSECANADA

[John Lewis @JohnMorganLewis]

Great news from Hamilton where @IATSEB173 ratified two agreements with First Compass and Spectra Venue Management. @IATSECANADA

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

Congratulations on the end of the lockout! You stood up for workers rights and inspired us to stand in solidarity with you. Thank you for your perseverance and resolve. #58lockedout

[IATSE Local 58 @iatse58]

@iatse58 members vote in favour of ratifying contract with @ExPlaceTO to end four-month lockout. #58lockedout

[Justin Antheunis @Local58Prez]

On behalf of all the members of @iatse58 I want to say thank you to those who supported us during this battle. The #solidarity made a huge difference in both the resolve and the outcome of this #58lockedout.

[IATSE Canada 🇨🇦 @IATSECANADA]

THE @iatse58 LOCKOUT IS OVER!! An agmt was reached Tuesday & ratified by members today. Says L58 Pres Justin Antheunis, “I don’t think either party is happy with how things worked out," which, as the saying goes, is always the mark of a good negotiation. https://t.co/mKdVzBFBAI

[Michal Rozworski @michalrozworski]

This isn't a done deal and shouldn't be. Unemployment is lower than a year ago. $15/hr is something that workers are expecting and businesses are already adjusting to. Freezing at $14 is bad for workers and the economy https://t.co/d88xEMDYaB #onpoli #15andFairness

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

Teachers, @iatse58 workers have been locked out of Exhibition Place since July 20 & the employer has refused to engage in proper bargaining. In solidarity, you may want to consider this if booking fall class trips to any event on Exhibition grounds. #solidarity #58lockedout

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

B173 officers walking the picket line in support of @iatse58 at @JohnTory’s campaign office today on our lunch break with fellow IATSE Officer institute attendees. #58lockedout #solidarity

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

B173 officers are proud to participate & learn at this week’s IATSE Officer Institute. Thanks to all of the great speakers & instructors. #IATSE

[IATSE Canada 🇨🇦 @IATSECANADA]

A full 1st day at the Officers Institute in Toronto. @gstjwood did a Sec-Treasurer 2.0 course, Dr. @WayneLewchuk spoke on Why #Unions Still Matter, and VP @JohnMorganLewis discussed the structure of the IATSE. We're off to join @iatse58 on the picket line soon! #58lockedout

[IATSE Canada 🇨🇦 @IATSECANADA]

More #solidarity expressed yesterday for the locked out @iatse58 members, and then more pledges for the L58 picket fund! $5,000 each from @IATSEDistrict11 and District 12, $1,000 from @IATSEDistrict7, and a personal pledge of $500 from D7 Sec @IATSE_Roo! Thank you!! #58lockedout

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

Had a great 3 days in Calgary at the #IACanCon2018 — inspiring Women’s Committee panel, connecting with fellow members and presenting our trade report for the year.

[IATSE Local B173 @IATSEB173]

B173 Members proud to march in solidarity with locked out Local 58 members at today’s labour day parade in Toronto #labourday #IATSE58

[Brent McLaughlin @brentmc01]

Hey @Ludacris @dwayne_gretzky @IMotherEarth @Finger_Eleven will you take a page from @canningb and @bssmusic and stand with @iatse58 on the picket line before you play @TOBeerFestival? @iatse58 has been locked out by @explaceto and would normally be working on the stage with you

[Sparky, RSE 🇨🇦 @ibew_sparky]

If governments will legislate ends to worker strikes but not lockouts... who do they really represent? #58lockedout

[Alex Dallas @Alexdallas58]

Hi IATSE supporters why not tweet the Darcy’s, Broken Social Scene and Ludacris to ask them not to cross the picket line at Beerfest ? I did !
More pleas to do the right thing may help !

[Jon C @JonCunningham]

It’s unfortunate that 21 @cityoftoronto councillors didn’t even want to discuss an update on the ongoing lockout of @iatse58 at @ExPlaceTO. Shame on @JohnTory and those who voted nay! #58LockedOut #Solidarity @IATSECANADA

[OFL @OFLabour]

Solidarity with the locked out members of @iatse58. For information on where they're holding pickets, follow them on twitter or Facebook: https://t.co/bsLiC8taKD
