the $64,000 dollar question! and we get to have a say to influence future negotiations, hoorah!
Equity are holding meetings all over the country to find out what Members think. They can't just guess without feedback from us! And I guess this is a pretty hot topic - I'm sure everyone has an opinion on what things could be done better. Well things won't change unless you make your opinions KNOWN!
So here is the link to the meetings: http://www.equity.org.uk/article.aspx?id=241

Bristol and Birmingham have already happened I'm afraid - and very informative the meeting was too. Apparently Bristol had a great turn-out, so would be brilliant to see the same from other cities!
If nothing else, it's a good chance just to catch up with others in the biz and have a good old natter about things we like, or more importantly, would like to change!
Go for it guys! Equity doesn't exist or have any power without us!
