We urge members to exercise caution in relation to casting agency Mad Dog Casting Ltd, and a possibly related company called Somebody Ltd, following dozens of instances of non-payment and an escalation of legal action to recover money owed.

Calling all Scottish creatives, we've been asked to share this request to take part in a survey, the general context is the gig economy, and the impact of this economic model on trade union activism in Scotland. If you can, take the time to complete the survey & share.

Again, our lives and careers are being sacrificed to a three way fight between political cynics ...Creative Scotland, the Scottish Government and the UK government...none of whom seem to know or care how the eco-system of the arts actually works.

Creative Scotland, Open Fund Closure:
This is what happens when an infrastructure does not adapt to reflect how it actually functions.
This is what happens when freelance voices are perpetually overlooked in decision making rooms, in spite of all the pandemic promises.

The Scottish Government didn't stop the fund...Creative Scotland did...in order to shame the Scottish Govt who were, in turn, trying to shame the UK Govt. We mustn't let anger make us naive as to the political games being played with our lives.

We stand with individual Scottish and Scotland-based artists across all art-forms asking The Scottish Government to reinstate the Open Fund for Individual Artists and stop the cuts.

“This is a deeply disappointing and short-sighted move by the Scottish Government which will put artists across the country out of work."

🚨SCOTTISH @EquityUK MEMBERS 🚨
It’s ridiculous we’re back here protesting the same issue but we won’t let this happen quietly.
We need to show @scotgov @ScotGovFM @AngusRobertson that this artistic austerity cannot continue.
Culture Matters.
