Our new report uses #edfringe job adverts to clearly show how this festival is built on exploitation. Highlights include paying people less than minimum wage, demanding photos on applications & getting little or no time off. Read report here: fairfringe.org/2019-advertis… #fairfringe

Replying to @FairFringe @tesodb
Both @edfringe McCarthy & @ComedyAwards Burns have shown their ignorance to how grass-roots #edfringe operates this year - and what the ‘spirit of the fringe’ really is in 2019. It’s certainly not supporting large businesses increase profits underpaying workers #fairfringe

The PWYW/free models are used by the likes of Shona McCarthy of the #edfringe society to defend exploitative employers but this flimsy argument is vehemently and rightly rejected by those involved. #edfringe2019 #edfringe19 #fairfringe Full article - bit.ly/2KrCtqb

After 12 years working for the Labour Party, 11 Leaders and one or two elections in between, just like Kieran Tierney it's now time for a new challenge.

Most #edfringe shows haven't started yet, but already we are receiving extremely concerning reports from venue workers regarding h&s, 12+ hour shifts and inadequate breaks. If this is you, DM us, email [email protected] or WhatsApp 07927 083070 #MakeYourFringe #edfringe19

While the report acknowledges that “massive strides forward” have been made, many of the issues raised by the @FairFringe campaign since its founding two years ago have endured bit.ly/2JZAhG6

Edinburgh is especially expensive during #edfringe and poverty pay is not enough to live on. You can't buy food with free tickets, or even use those tickets when you're working every single day. tinyurl.com/y62h8g35 #MakeYourFringe #EdFringe19 #FairFringe

Poverty pay, potentially discriminatory hiring practices and use of "volunteers" are unfortunately still rife at #EdFringe tinyurl.com/y5o6h7ty #MakeYourFringe #EdFringe19 #FairFringe

“Some festival employers insist that if they paid their staff a proper wage their business would collapse. But the reality is that any business which can’t afford to pay its staff properly cannot afford to operate. It is simply unacceptable." bit.ly/2JZAhG6

“We noticed that this year companies have been far more secretive about their pay and conditions – they now know we are watching and their exploitation will not go unchallenged," says @FairFringe bit.ly/2JZAhG6
