RULES FOR THE CONDUCT OF MEMBERS DURING A STRIKE

1. Any act or conduct which is prejudicial to the welfare of ACTRA and its members is subject to
disciplinary action. Conduct tending to defeat a strike or in any way weaken its effectiveness is
considered to be conduct prejudicial to the welfare of the union.

2. Working for a struck engager is prohibited even though the member is engaged by or under
contract to that engager at the time the strike is called.

3. All work for all struck engagers will cease immediately upon the calling of the strike, regardless of
the stage of production reached.

4. No work of any kind will be done for a struck engager, whether on or off the premises of the
engager.

5. No work shall be performed regardless of when it was contracted.

6. Discussion of future work, and/or any type of audition with a struck engager is prohibited even
though neither negotiations for, nor contracting, is contemplated until after settlement of the strike.

7. Immediately upon the calling of a strike, members will inform their agents, personal managers or
any other representative of all ACTRA strike rules. Members will revoke or suspend any
authorization for representation in relation to the struck engager for the duration of the strike.

8. Members are prohibited from engaging in any conference, negotiations, discussions or meeting of
any kind, whether in person, by telephone, through the mail, via facsimile or any other electronic
medium, or through an agent or other representative regarding any contract or engagement, even
though the effective date of any such proposed contract be scheduled for a time after the
settlement of the strike.

9. All members are prohibited from crossing a picket line which is established by ACTRA.

10. Members are prohibited from entering the premises of any struck engager unless a pass has been
issued to them by the location picket captain. Such passes will be issued to members who require
to collect cheques for work done before the commencement of the strike and to members who are
legitimately working for the struck engager outside of the jurisdiction of ACTRA.

11. Members who are working outside of the jurisdiction of ACTRA for a struck engager shall be
subject to discipline if they perform duties for the struck engager in the jurisdiction of ACTRA
during the duration of the strike.

12. The use of a fictitious name of any kind as a means of circumventing strike rules and regulations is
prohibited.

13. The acts of any agent, personal manager or other representative acting on behalf of a member
shall be considered to be those of the member in the absence of satisfactory evidence to the
contrary.

14. Members are charged with knowledge of all strike rules and regulations, of any strike information
or developments distributed through the mail to the membership and of any strike information
made generally known through the newspapers, radio and television, or other electronic media
unless they offer satisfactory evidence that it was impossible for them to receive such strike
information.

15. Performers who are not members of the union, but who reasonably know that the union is on
strike, who nevertheless perform for struck engagers, or who in any way act to defeat the best
interests of the union during a strike, will be excluded from membership in the union.

16. The term "member" encompasses anyone admitted to Full Membership or Apprentice Membership
in ACTRA and includes members not in good standing, suspended or on inactive membership
status or resigned.

17. No member may be relieved of the responsibility for the payment of any fine, or from any
disciplinary action resulting from any infraction of strike rules by offering his/her resignation from
ACTRA.

18. ACTRA shall have the authority to assign and direct members in the performance of duties relating
to the strike, including, but not limited to, picket duty. Any member found guilty of refusal to
perform picket or related duties shall be fined not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00) per day
for each day of such refusal to perform.

19. Enforcement of these rules may be delegated by the ACTRA National Executive to properly
constituted committees or ACTRA personnel and each Branch/Local Union Council or Executive
shall be responsible for the enforcement of these rules in its location.
