Equity Set to Commence Talks With SPADA

Equity Set to Commence Talks With SPADA

NZ Actors’ Equity and the Screen Production & Development Association (SPADA) have entered into an agreement to commence good faith negotiations for a new set of conditions which will govern the way in which performers are engaged in the local screen industry.

Talks are to take place over the next six months. As a sign of good faith, while negotiations occur, Equity has agreed that those productions which fully comply with the current guidelines for the engagement of cast in the industry - “The Pink Book” - will not be subject to industrial action.

“It’s the beginning of much welcomed process which should ultimately provide a level of security and certainty to all who collaborate in the screen production industry,” said Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Equity’s president.
