Equity calls on members to support rehearsal visits
Following the setting up of the Theatre Sub Committee, Equity have decided to recommence the old tradition of visiting actors on the first day of rehearsals. This initiative is designed to increase the profile of the union at live performance venues and to create more face to face time between the members of the union their representatives.
While we have contacted a large number of production companies and venues we are calling on members to let us know what live productions they are becoming involved in so that we can arrange a visit. Members can email this information to equity@siptu.ie. All information provided is confidential to the member and will not be shared with any third party. We will only use the knowledge of the production to arrange a visit without identifying any specific member of the cast.

Justice for the Locked Out Greyhound Workers
On 17th June workers with Greyhound Recycling and Recovery arrived at work to be told that unless they agreed to a 35% reduction in their wages they could not clock in. The company had already hired security to ensure that the men could not enter their place of work and new agency workers immediately began carrying out their jobs. The 70 men affected said they were willing to work under their existing terms and conditions of employment but management refused their request. The men have been locked out of their jobs.
