Public Notice 1998-2

Representation Vote for Directors
("Metteurs en scène")
Tribunal File Nos. 95-0016-A & 95-0021-A

The Association des professionnels des arts de la scène du Québec (APASQ) and the Union des Artistes (Union des Artistes) have each filed an application for certification with the Canadian Artists and Producers Professional Relations Tribunal. APASQ and Union des Artistes are both seeking the right to represent a sector composed of stage directors ("metteurs en scène") for the purpose of collective bargaining with producers subject to the Status of the Artist Act.

In a decision rendered on December 30, 1997, the Tribunal determined that the following sector of stage directors would be suitable for collective bargaining:

A sector composed of all independent contractors engaged by a producer subject to the Status of the Artist Act to perform the duties of director in a French-language stage production of a literary, musical or dramatic work or a mime, variety, circus or puppet show.

The Tribunal ordered that a representation vote be conducted in order to determine which association should be certified to represent directors of French language stage productions.

The list of potential voters that appears below was prepared using lists provided by APASQ and Union des Artistes. If your name appears on the list below, you will receive the documentation required to participate in the representation vote.

If you are a director of professional French language stage productions* ("metteur en scène") and your nae does NOT appear on the list below, you may register to vote if you:

1. have directed three professional productions during the period from September 13, 1994 to September 12, 1997; or

3. are recognized as a stage director in the field and you continue to practice this profession on a regular basis.
