This article makes three contributions to the local labour market literature. Firstly, it provides an empirical example of the contours and dynamics of a unique local labour market. Secondly, it explores the degree to which the local labour market is shaped by external forces operating at the national and international scale. Thirdly, it considers the extent to which the local labour market can be conceptualized as a multi-vocal social construct. These ideas are developed through a case study of union involvement in the Vancouver film industry. During the summer of 1997 there was a period of discord between the actors' union in Vancouver, UBCP, and American producers, represented by the AMPTP. These tensions were exacerbated by the involvement of the Provincial Government, the local press and other vested interest groups. Using a variety of interview and documentary evidence, this dispute is used to illustrate the geographically specific and highly complex nature of local labour markets.Cet article réalise trois contributions aux travaux sur le marchré local du travail. Premièrement, il analyse un exemple empirique des contours et des dynamiques d'un marchré unique du travail local. Deuxièmement, l'auteur examine la contribution des forces externes (nationales et internationales) à l'organisation du marchré local du travail. Troisièmement, dans quelle mesure un marchré local du travail peut-il étre conceptualisré comme une construction sociale à plusieurs discours? Ces points sont drévelopprés dans le cas d'rétude de la participation des syndicats dans l'industrie du film a Vancouver. Pendant l'rétré1997, il y eut une prériode de dissensions entre le syndicat des acteurs à Vancouver (UBCP) et les producteurs amréricains, reprrésentrés par l'AMPTP. Ces tensions rétaient aggravrées par la participation du gouvernement provincial, de la presse locale et d'autres groupes militants. A partir de diverses donnrées provenant d'entrevues et de documentation, ce conflit est utilisré pour illustrer la particularitré gréographique et la nature extrémement complexe des marchés locaux du travail
