IATSE Local 891

I am a permittee/ Accounting with IATSE Local 891.I have knowledge about this company and want to be part of it.Would be great if any one advise who to find a job here

have been a member in good standing for over 9 years and have been unemployed for the past 8 months and still paying union dues i care for my son full time and have been making due with what i have not sure how union members are protected if this is allowed to go on.

I was very disappointed (after doing all the paperwork and testing) that after 3 months of following up, I was finally told my application was rejected. I have experience putting on productions and working as a DOP and the response was you have no production experience" LOLClearly you need connections just to get this union to even LOOK at your application. Pathetic...."

Easy site to navigate through

Thank you for always having your members best interest at heart.

After being a newly recognized member of IATSE 891, in 2013, I was delighted to learn about the volumes of opportunities for training and education through our union. Having been in the business world for over 20 years, I can honestly say that there are very few business and unions that support their members so fairly and who truly care about the members in their team." Not only are members given the time of their union leaders through phone calls

Best decision ever... was to join this union.It is not a 9-5" job.... It can be tough (yet often exhilarating) work ...and is humbling.... to be surrounded by such wildly talented folk.WORK does come in waves...busy (full throttle) and slow (hiatus).(This is the nature of the film industry not this union)"

Where do I begin...I have to say I love this union, I love being in Film is this is possibly one of the best unions you can be apart of in This city. The Conditions and the pay are exceptionally well for film.the bad news is if you don't know anyone in the industry or your not a professional ass kisser (getting work instead through effort, attitude and gained skill) Expect to be sitting around waiting for work often.I swear people in unions who only know people in union and have experienced union take these jobs way for granted. Being able to keep work cause of WHO they know. Not knowing how hard their industries really can get. Hard advice- you don't REALLY know your industry until you've worked on non-union, independent or small time gigs/companies and jobs, where sometimes in the case of film they don't even get their PAY Never mind getting screwed on overtime hours. Talk about paying your dues"And that's the hardcore truth

One of the best unions in Vancouver to work For!

This union is extremely unprofessional and doesn’t look after people’s livelihoods with their poor decision making. I wouldn’t recommend joining this union to anyone after knowing they’re just here to take your money and leave you on your own.
