Today’s the big day for our motion! Huge thanks to our reps in attendance. ✊🏻
Today @EquityDandD are bringing a motion to #EquityConference2024 calling for an audit of contracts issued to our members from @uk_theatre members & creating contract templates to improve awareness amongst artists that these are underpinned by collectively bargained agreements.
