TV, film actors asked to take 25% pay cut


ACTRA, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists, said in a news release today that actor Gordon Pinsent, a member of the union's bargaining team, walked out of a meeting with film and television producers on Monday.

"Canadian producers told revered Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent and all Canadian performers that they deserve a 25 per cent pay cut, no residuals and worse working conditions," the union said in a statement.

"So Pinsent, at the front table of ACTRA's bargaining team, walked out of the talks on Monday."
