If you haven’t voted yet in the Equity Council Elections you must get your ballot paper in by noon on the 6th July. Please be aware that the Audio Committee put in a lot of hard work to ensure that the Audio Seat on Council has been reinstated. We (The Audio Committee) believe that this gives us (Audio Artists) the opportunity to have a strong voice on Council and to raise important issues quickly at the very top of the union. It also gives the Audio Councillor the opportunity to raise the profile of Audio work at Equity, something that I feel is very important. It is a growing part of our industry and sustains many of us in the business. There is a lot of work to do in the coming years to protect and improve our hard fought agreements on rates and working conditions and I would relish the opportunity to take on this role. If you haven’t voted yet, please read my statement in the election booklet and consider giving me your vote.
