Les habilleurs et habilleuses du Young People’s Theatre ont voté à l’unanimité pour se joindre à la section locale 822 de l’AIEST !
TORONTO, ON — Wardrobe workers at Young People’s Theatre (YPT) have voted unanimously to join IATSE Local 822, strengthening worker representation across one of Canada’s most respected theatre institutions. The certification covers both shop and running wardrobe classifications, bringing near-complete IATSE representation to the venue. Nine workers were eligible to vote. Eight votes were counted and one was segregated (as possibly ineligible), with all counted votes favouring joining the union. The group includes part-time dressers, running crew, and wardrobe production staff such as stitchers and cutters. The status of the Head of Department remains under review. These workers primarily joined together to seek higher wages and stronger job protections. Young People’s Theatre holds a significant place in Toronto’s cultural landscape. As the oldest professional theatre company in Canada dedicated to children and youth, YPT has introduced generations of young audiences to the performing arts. It has put on well-known productions including Hana’s Suitcase, James and the Giant Peach, Seussical, The Adventures of Pinocchio, A Christmas Carol, and more. Business Agent Michelle DiCesare welcomed the group, noting the clear message sent by a unanimous vote. “We are thrilled to welcome wardrobe workers at YPT into Local 822. Their unity shows strong commitment to safer workplaces and fair conditions. We look forward to productive first contract negotiations with YPT,” said DiCesare. International Vice President and Director of Canadian Affairs John Lewis celebrated the workers’ decision and emphasized the collective power gained by joining the union. “Workers’ voices are always stronger together, and the voice of all workers at YPT is even stronger today. Through collective bargaining, wardrobe workers will be able to protect the benefits they enjoy and secure the many advantages that come with union membership,” said Lewis.
