Proposed changes for the recently negotiated 2019-2022 Les Grands Ballets Agreement (LGBA) between Equity and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal were ratified by the eligible Equity membership. The vote concluded on Thursday, October 29, 2020.

Members voted 100% in support of the proposed changes. A total of 48 voters were eligible to vote and 24 Equity members cast a ballot. The voting return rate was 50%.

Equity and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal have agreed to a three-year agreement, with minimum fee increases of 1.8% for Principals, 2% for Soloists and Apprentices, and 2.4% for Corps members, in each year of the Agreement. All other amounts will increase by 2% in each year of the Agreement, except for the reimbursement for costs associated with obtaining Permanent Resident status (increased to $1,800.00 from $1,200.00), the seniority payment (remains at $35.00), the permit fee (remains at $50.00), all which remain at the same rate for the duration of the Agreement.

The ratified changes retroactively came into effect on July 1, 2019 and the Agreement will expire on June 30, 2022.

The new LGBA will be available on www.caea.com as soon as updating and printing allows. Please email Business Representative Manager - Ballet & Opera Agreements/Engagement Policies Ruth Leggett in the interim with any questions or for any information.
