Don’t miss out on this amazing fundraiser for Equity International Solidarity Committee Tuesday 12th May The Bread & Roses

100 YEARS AGO: The General Strike of 1926 began on 3 May and lasted for nine days, with 1.7 million workers stopping work in solidarity with coal miners who were threatened with wage cuts and longer working hours. "Not a penny off the pay, not a minute on the day" was their defiant slogan.

Although the strike did not achieve its immediate aims, it was a defining moment for the labour movement, brining workers together in a monumental display of collective action to fight for their rights. Solidarity forever.

Big win for artists in Scotland 🎉

Ahead of May’s elections, both Scottish Labour and the SNP have backed Equity’s call for a Basic Income for Artists, pledging to pilot the initiative.

Marlene Curran, Equity Scotland Official, said: “We welcome this pledge from both Scottish Labour and the SNP to pilot a living wage for artists. Last month, we launched our own call for a Scottish Basic Income for Artists to support the creatives who drive Scotland’s cultural industries and boost the Scottish economy. We hope that other parties follow suit and back a Basic Income for Artists, taking the opportunity to cement Scotland’s position as a leader in arts and culture.”
