In the long history of Local 262, which began in 1912, 1994 was a landmark year and a turning point in the history of our local as we know it today.
On December 8 1994, the Front Of the House (FOH) staff of the first four cinemas joined Local 262 (Egyptien, Atwater, Complexe Desjardins and Centre-Ville). This turning point was major because, 25 years later, caused by technological changes, the profession of projectionist in large venues is perhaps a thing of the past unfortunately, but we have known since then, represent and defend brilliantly the FOH staff in cinemas, theaters and elsewhere in entertainment.
This is the 25th anniversary we are celebrating right now.
