I have this afternoon authorised a series of strikes & other action at the English National Opera.

Cuts in pay, job losses- it’s shows who the bosses think opera is for.

@EquityUK is clear: opera is for everyone, & the workplace must be open to all.

#FairWageOnStage

[Equity @EquityUK]

📢RESULTS ARE IN:

100% of ballots returned by our members in the @E_N_O chorus vote YES to strike action.

We cannot accept a 40% cut to their pay.

First day of strike action is 1st February.
