Is "Equity"

  • now the formal name of the former British Actors' Equity Association, or
  • simply the common short name of an organization that is still officially called the British Actors' Equity Association?

-- The Anome It is now the formal name of the union. Does anyone know how many members it has, and what it's history of membership figures is?

[edit] Closed shop

Why is Equity still allowed to operate as a closed shop? Unlike, say, gas engineers there isn't a safety reason to compel membership, so how do they get around the law that outlaws closed shops in the UK? 86.136.252.25 09:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
