    The Trade Union for Theatre and Media (Finnish: Teatteri- ja mediatyöntekijöiden liitto, TeMe) is a trade union representing workers in theatre, dance, film, and television production, in Finland.

    History

    [edit]

    The union was founded on 12 November 1973, when the Finnish Theatre Directors' Union, the Finnish Union of Set Designers, the Finland Theatre Teachers' Federation and the Finnish Union of Technical Theatre merged, to form the Finnish Theatre Workers' Union. In 1988, the Finnish Union of Film and Video Workers also joined.[1]

    In 1998, the union changed its name to Theatre and Media Workers, and it adopted its current name in 2013. In 2007, the union affiliated to the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions.[2]
