As we hail the entrance of new @EquityWomen we say goodbye to our sisters from last term, many of whom chose not to stand this year after decades of service to @EquityUK Chair @Kelly_E_Burke Vice-Chair @JenLGreenwood (mini Matilda!) and fab members @MatthewsAbigail @debratidd_ 🧡

We asked our West End workforce to #StandUpFor17
In two years SM & performers in the West End will have received a 16.7% pay increase.
We couldn’t have done it without the activism & support of @equityUK members in the West End.
Take a bow, comrades ✊🏻

After impassioned speeches from #JodieComer & @ChrisBushWrites at the #OlivierAwards on Sunday night, Nicky Campbell’s phone in this morning was about Theatre ticket prices.

The way @neill_bob has put the workforce at the heart of his advocacy for @E_N_O is the mark of how well he understands the issue.
A huge thanks to him from @EquityUK
30 Mar 2023
As was v clear at the roundtable I hosted with @EquityUK this week, many creative professionals undertake supplementary session or teaching work. It's yet another reason why an ill thought out relocation of @E_N_O isn't feasible. London offers those additional opportunities.

Last time I worked in Theatre was 2019.
We did a five day rehearsal week, the production was nominated for 5 @OlivierAwards & it won Best New Comedy.
I can’t afford to work on the West End minimums in 2023. That’s why this #WorldTheatreDay, I’m #StandingUpfor17 with @EquityUK

Throughout the Miners’ Strike, @EquityUK & our members organised solidarity and support.
Here’s some of my favourite pictures from a Coal not Dole benefit we organised in Stratford Upon Avon for the surviving pits in 1992.

I have been a very proud employee of the BBC, and even prouder member of the BBC Singers for almost 9 years. This decision is utterly devastating. I’m speechless and heartbroken. bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2023/b…
