SOLT / Equity – Final Deal

By Catherine Considine
SOLT / Equity – Final Deal

Hello Everyone
A useful addition below from James Penford, on the documents I circulated yesterday. Please remember the deadline for comment is end of play Tuesday (May 28th).
Thank you.

The letter which Equity has sent to its members lays out the negotiation process and what has been achieved.

Headlines are…

Increases of 9% across 4 years on minimum salaries

Increases of 31% in Leading role understudy payments and 29% for supporting roles across 4 years

Plus lots of other improvements to swing and dance captain rates, EPK payments

As agents we know there is still a long way to go to get some rates to where they really should be but this gives us an improved starting position for negotiations.

Equity have asked that agents read the letter and the document detailing changes to clauses and report back to them any queries, causes for concern eg where a clause could be misinterpreted or abused.

If agents can email james@hattonmcewanpenford.com by Tuesday 28th our responses can be collated and sent to Equity.
