Tuesday night’s Federal Budget had plenty of good news for workers in the media, arts and entertainment industries – and one big win that was the result of years of campaigning by MEAA members.
MEAA Equity recently held meetings with concerned extras who felt that their employee rights were not being upheld.
As screen crew across the country campaign for improved working conditions to combat burn out and fatigue, MEAA reminds members of their right to a meal break in line with the terms of the MEAA/SPA Motion Picture Production Agreement (MPPA).
MEAA members at the ABC have secured big wins after reaching agreement with management for their new EBA.
Congratulations to MEAA ECS vice-president Zoe Watkins, who was awarded a Gold Honour Badge at a meeting of MEAA’s Federal Council in Sydney last week for her outstanding work to organise and advocate for Victorian venue staff during COVID lockdowns.
