As we move towards a general strike, we urge friends, peers + colleagues - employed, contract and freelance, to consider, where possible, joining a trade union and/or organising their workplace. Here are some suggestions of unions + workers collectives from our members…

Our survey found 87% of disabled people in the cultural sector have been asked to do something for nothing. How can we stop this exploitation? Join us for a week-long campaign starting Monday 17 April as we share our findings and explore potential solutions. #NothingForNothing

@stellarossssa But then, those from middle class backgrounds, privileges, education etc. who work in the arts will have a lower income - does that make them working class?

@WCArtistGroup I would ask questions that give info on economic position- What is your monthly income? How much do you pay on bills/housing costs every month? Do you receive any financial support from family members? Do you own any property or have substantial savings?

@gabeiskwl We do not deny that there will be many WC members of the workforce will be effected - organisations in question failed to engage with directive set out by ACE to improve access. Execs/Boards from these organisations are pointing the blame in the wrong direction.

Our group is not a union, nor do we have the resources to support workers with legal, employment or strike action. However, our DM's are open to signpost you and we welcome you sharing with us actions + disputes taking place in your workplace. In solidarity, always.

We know membership rates can make joining a union inaccessible for many working class workers - we urge unions mentioned here to consider accessibility to their organisations to ensure all workers can be equally supported + represented.
