Synopsis: These spoof ads were independently produced by graduate students in film and theater at York University during the CUPE 3903 strike of 2008/09. These individuals were not paid to specifically produce these ads. They, like picketers, were provided minimal strike pay of 10 $/hour for up to 20 hours/week. The funds for the Strike pay were derived from union dues paid by members on every paycheck prior to the strike. The equipment and space necessary for the production of these ads was either the personal property of these members or was borrowed, without charge, from various resources available to them as members of the filmmaking community.
