Not being part of a union! @equitydrag

[Equity @EquityUK]

Did you know that Equity is the union for choral singers?

If you work as a liturgical singer, we want to hear from you about your working conditions! Your feedback will support us in expanding our work in this area.

[Paul W Fleming @paulwfleming]

This thread is, unfortunately, predicated on something @EquityUK is not saying.

Yes, we highlight the inequity that PMA/CDG members don’t pay, but actors do.

But we want the cost transferred to the bosses, the producers, not other creatives.

Every other industry does this.

JOIN A UNION!!

[Just Porkchop May @justmaydoes]

Now, I honestly can’t tell you how important it is to be an @EquityUK member, let alone an @EquityDrag member!
Please join and thing like this will happen less and less in the future.
And like @misterjoeblack said, you get a lush diary every year!

[Joe Black @misterjoeblack]

Join Equity. You get a lovely diary every year. Public Liability insurance. Also they will absolutely fight your corner should you happen to work for what could only really be considered as absolute crooks.
