CAST UNION. CAST ACTRA.  

Does your ad have a union bug? 

When you tell the world about your union, is unionized Canadian labour the face of your message? If your union takes the time to put a union bug on products – ACTRA’s membership of 30,000 performers are the union bug for your TV, radio, or digital ads! 

Why ACTRA?

When you hire a union performer, you are working with a professional who will help bring your story to life – on time and on budget. We are here to support your advocacy and amplify the issues that matter, so together we can build fairer workplaces and stronger communities.  

Our shared union ideals don’t stop when the cameras are rolling. Thousands of your unionized siblings at ACTRA have been locked out or lost their jobs to greedy corporate interests that are shooting advertisements non-union just to save a few bucks. Shame. 
 
ACTRA is counting on your union to be part of the solution in the fight-back against union busting agencies and their brands. And the way to do that is simple: hire us! 

ACTRA’s 30,000 professional performers are ready to work with you on: 

Working with ACTRA is not complicated or cost-prohibitive – we offer agreements for projects of every size and budget and we have jurisdiction across Canada from coast-to-coast-to-coast. The best part? You get the best product with the best performers in the country. 

For your next project… Cast union. Cast ACTRA.
