THE EMC PROGRAM

As we first announced in 2023, the Equity Membership Candidate program was phased out with the introduction of Equity’s Open Access membership policy.

Thanks to Equity's Open Access membership policy, if you took part in the EMC program, you are eligible to join the union as soon as you are ready. Remember, you must complete any non-Equity contracts prior to joining the union.

If you are still keeping track of your EMC points, you can think of this as being granted the rest of the points you were missing. When you opt to join the union, any fees you have paid to Equity for the EMC program will be applied to your initiation fee. This is true whether you apply today or in the future, with no expiration date.
