⏳ Deadline extended to May 10! Check your inbox for the survey link.

Equity wants to hear from you — what's it like working as or with understudies? How familiar are you with current understudy provisions? And what would you change?

Your feedback helps shape the next round of bargaining for the CTA, ITA, and Stratford Addendum.

and... don't forget to join us on May 11 for our Clause & Effect discussion series to learn more about how to understand understudy clauses. Register at the link in bio.

Clause & Effect is Equity's new online discussion series — where our Business Reps walk members through a specific article or clause in an agreement: how it works, common misunderstandings, and your questions answered live.
First up: Understudies!
Join us next Monday and get clear on how understudy clauses actually work.

Discussion will be moderated by Ontario Region Councillor Tahirih Vejdani.

#canadianactor. Hey fellow Equity Members, your Council wants to know how the workplace has been for you. How it has changed since our last survey in 2015. How is it now?

It's not an April Fools joke, today is Equity's 50th Anniversary!
