What is a Charter Member?
A Charter Member is an original or founding member of an organization.
At the beginning of 1958, brothers William White Sr., Bill Finch, and Roy Culley applied to the IATSE International Office to create a Toronto film chapter. After this new charter was signed by the International President, 873 was granted bargaining rights for the Toronto motion picture industry. At the time, this included television commercials, documentaries, television series and features.
This was made possible by the original members whose names are displayed on the Charter, Local 873’s very first members.
