This International Workers Memorial Day Equity remembers everyone who has died or has been injured at work.

This year our focus is particularly on those in the night time economy, including comedians, stage management, drag artists and singers, who face increasingly inhospitable working conditions

Great to see @equityuk.bsky.social demanding the use of trade union contracts in the gaming industry at the BAFTA awards last night. The industry cannot Equity's demands and we will continue to lobby for improved pay, terms and conditions where are members are working in gaming.
We were at #BAFTAGamesAwards tonight calling on bosses to improve pay & conditions for video game performers through union agreements!

While it’s great to celebrate successes, bosses can’t ignore the poor pay & practices faced by the workforce #EquityGameOn

"I do [have a pension], although I wish I’d started it earlier. The Equity pension... is really good, and something I pay into after every job"

Thanks to member Jason Barnett for the shout out in @inews.co.uk - a pension is one benefit of membership!
