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_ 🧡

Very proud to be attending @EquityUK conference for the first time representing The West End Deputies Committee and talking about the astonishing #StandUpFor17 campaign with members. Great energy and positivity in the room!

[Equity Live Performance @EquityLP]

This result would not have been possible without the hard work of the West End Deps, Equity members and everyone who supported #StandUpFor17

[Equity Live Performance @EquityLP]

There have also been significant gains for stage management, plus big increases to swing and cover fees which are due to rise by up to 43%; a 21% increase to the relocation allowance; and a commitment to progress trials of the 5-day rehearsal week.

🎉West End WIN!🎉

Equity members in the West End have won an inflation busting increase to minimum rates, which are set to rise by at least 16.7% over the next 24 months.

#StandUpFor17

[The Stage @TheStage]

West End performers and stage managers will receive a pay rise of 16% by 2024/25, under new rates agreed by @EquityUK and the Society of London Theatre (@SOLTnews) https://t.co/TtYagmklix

[Equity Stage Com @EquityStageCom]

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.

An anonoymous West End Stage Manager texted in.

Sound ON 🔊

#StandUpFor17

[Paul W Fleming @paulwfleming]

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

[Hywel Morgan (He/Him) @Hywel_Morgan]

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

[£ for UK actors' children @ActorsChildren]

50 years since the death of ACT's President Noel Coward: he'd be proud of actors' children today, and the children from our orphanage days remember him with love #NoelCoward #actorschildren #NoelCowardSir #FoundationNoel

[Equity @EquityUK]

Happy #WorldTheatreDay to all those who observe!

Remember, there’s a hardworking workforce behind all your favourite shows

[Equity Stage Com @EquityStageCom]

@EquityUK members across the #WestEnd are saying #StandUpFor17 ✊🏻

[Paul W Fleming @paulwfleming]

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.

[Eleanor Minney @minneymezzo]

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. https://t.co/pYc2J9KzN8
