British Columbia’s massive film industry is facing the prospect of a strike as members of a labour organization representing 1,700 workers started a strike vote Wednesday largely due to wage issues.

VANCOUVER—British Columbia’s massive film industry is facing the prospect of a strike as members of a labour organization representing 1,700 workers, employed on some of the most beloved productions on screen, started a strike vote Wednesday largely due to wage issues.

The guild’s members work throughout the province’s industry and, according to its current production list, are on the sets of a number of popular productions. “The Flash,” “Riverdale” and “Snowpiercer” all include workers represented by the guild. But Upton said it’s too early to say if a strike mandate could result in directors yelling “cut” for an extended period of time on the sets of productions filmed in the province.
