2012-2015 NACSEA UP FOR RATIFICATION BY THE EQUITY MEMBERSHIP
------------------------------------
Equity has successfully reached a tentative deal with the National Arts
Centre for a three-year renewal of the National Arts Centre Special
Events Agreement (NACSEA).

The proposed fee changes are now subject to ratification by the affected
Equity membership. Pending a successful ratification, the current
Agreement will be renewed until August 31, 2015. Equity has negotiated a
1.5% increase to all minimum rates, fees and other monetary amounts in
each year of the Agreement.

Ratification packages, including a ratification ballot and a copy of the
proposed fee increases to the 2012-2015 NACSEA, together with a
explanatory letter, have now been mailed to Equity members in good
standing who worked under the NACSEA during the 2007-2012 term.

Any eligible voter who does not receive a ballot by Friday, November 16,
2012 is encouraged to contact Equity's National Office for assistance.

This ratification will be conducted by mail only. Please mail the
enclosed ballot no later than Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Only those
ballots received in Equity's National Office prior to 5:00 p.m. on
Thursday, December 6, 2012 will be counted. 

The results of the ratification will be announced on e-drive and on
Equity's website at http://www.caea.com on Friday, December 7, 2012.

Pending a successful ratification, the NACSEA fee increases will be
retroactive to September 1, 2012.
