Welsh chorus vote on strike

Welsh chorus vote on strike

The actors union Equity today began balloting its members at Welsh National Opera to approve industrial action.

Chorus pay is being cut by at least 15% and numbers will be reduced, with a real threat of compulsory redundancy.

Equity says: ‘WNO Management seem intent on pushing through these changes at speed under the misguided impression that this will, in some way, allow our members the opportunity to maximise the possibility of other employment.’
