May old aquaintence be forgot
Wellity, welity. 2 years, $400, and no work later, my time as a professional actor comes to an end. I've suspended my equity membership.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your email.
As you requested your membership has been suspended from your Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance membership. You will no longer receive any documentation nor be charged any subscriptions.
During this period of suspension Media Entertainment & Arts Alliance does not offer any coverage as a suspended member.
For Suspension there is a three month minimum and a two year limit for that to stay in place. You should not have an agent and be inactive from the industry to go onto suspension. If you do have an agent actively seeking work for you, you can apply for reduced fees depending on your earnings on the industry.
On behalf of the New South Wales Branch, thank you for your commitment to the union and look forward to your return.
