The continued uncertainty for culture in Scotland is completely untenable, for the arts 🎭 but also for workers including @bectu members who continue to face insecurity.
Theatres, festivals and venues left on 'cliff edge' of collapse by 3-month fund delay scotsman.com/arts-and-cultur…
ScottishLiveEventsNetwork retweeted
This fund was meant to provide more certainty for the sector but these delays are doing the opposite. Many orgs are already on a cliff edge. This will impact workers with orgs unable to confirm their programmes or delaying productions meaning less opportunities for freelancers.
🚨Scotland’s theatres, festivals, arts venues & organisations have been left in limbo over their future @scotgov funding until the end of January after ministers refused to earmark a budget for the next @CreativeScots multi-year programme.🚨

Our branch Co-Chair @aliceblack_pm spoke at the TUC congress
Alice seconded a motion from @EquityUK focusing on improving pay & pensions for freelancers
She also spoke in support of a @WeAreTheMU motion about Misogyny in the music industry
Both motions were passed by congress

Very worrying news from @CreativeScots about closing the Open Fund for Individuals. This is the fund which reaches artists and freelancers directly. This will not help the sector have confidence & also casts doubt on the £100m additional funding promised

Some of our branch reps at @ProspectUnion conference. Great opportunity to represent our members, helping set the policy and direction for the Union for the next two years. We passed a number of motions including one about culture funding and the impact of the arts on society.
