About Us
Representing Ontario’s Film & Television Technicians Since 1970
NABET 700-M UNIFOR is a labour union representing nearly 3,000 highly skilled film, television and digital media Technicians across 14 departments in the Province of Ontario.
We committed to protecting the rights and interests of our members, advocating for fair compensation, safe working conditions, and work-life balance. We believe that by working together, we can create a more equitable, sustainable, and vibrant workforce that benefits our members and the Film & Television industry at large.
1970
NABET 700-M Unifor was created to supply videotape technicians. However, it later expanded its services to include television and film technicians for Toronto's growing production industry.
1994
NABET 700 merged with the Communications, Energy, and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP), the third-largest trade union in North America, with a membership base of over 180,000 members.
2013
The CEP and the CAW merged to form Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union, representing more than 300,000 members from all sectors nationwide. NABET 700-M Unifor currently has over 3,000 qualified technicians in fourteen departments of the film and television industry.
Our members are selected based on their qualifications rather than seniority, allowing productions to choose the technicians best suited for each project.
