Equity and SAG-AFTRA have this evening released a joint statement following the announcement of US industrial action below.
Our solidarity statement and full advice to members can be read here: equity.org.uk/solidarity-sta…

ALT Graphic reads: "Equity UK stands in unwavering solidarity with SAG-AFTRA and its members in their effort to achieve a fair and equitable contract, and for the good of performers working around the world. Equity UK will support SAG-AFTRA and its members by all lawful means. Because of existing anti-trade union laws in the UK, SAG-AFTRA members currently working under an Equity UK collective bargaining agreement should continue to report to work. Equity UK will support SAG-AFTRA’s refusal to issue new Global Rule One addenda that undermine the strike during the pendency of the strike. Standing together, we will work to achieve the wages and working conditions that all performers deserve". The statement is signed SAG-AFTRA and Equity.

Last night we packed out the public gallery at Bristol City Hall.
We questioned Mayor Marvin Rees to hold him accountable for his damaging decision to cut & delay arts funding across Bristol.
@EquityUK isn’t going anywhere. So we want to know: will he reverse his decision?
