Call to action from MEAA - Just talk to us!

This - today - from MEAA:

Today we sent SPAA a direct message regarding the Offshore Commercials Agreement:

JUST TALK TO US!

Despite repeated requests from Equity, SPAA has refused to negotiate a new Offshore Commercials agreement. So today we went direct to SPAA’s Office.

More than 100 striking actors protested outside the SPAA offices in Surry Hills in Sydney this afternoon. They were addressed by Alliance federal president Patricia Amphlett and Equity president Simon Burke.

The rally was designed to tell SPAA this message:

PERFORMERS DO NOT WANT TO STRIKE – WE WANT AN AGREEMENT!

If SPAA think they can rip up one agreement, what’s to stop them from ripping up any other agreements in film and television? SPAA's move to rip up the Offshore Commercials Agreement is an attack upon all performers and all our rights

The Next Step:

Email SPAA and tell them to JUST TALK TO US! Send SPAA Production Executive Bethwyn Serow the following email at: bethwyn@spaa.org.au (cc. mail@alliance.org.au)

Bethwyn,

As proud Equity members all we want is for you to meet with our union to negotiate an Offshore Commercials Agreement that works for both TVC producers and for performers.

Just talk to us!

Yours Sincerely
<your name>
