#meaa — Public Fediverse posts

MEAA is holding a freelancer's meeting to discuss the Big Tech levy the government is proposing to stabilise the media industry. MEAA is saying there is no stable media industry without more jobs, better rates and better conditions for freelancers.

This is related to the proposed news bargaining incentive laws that Podcast Workers Australia recently made a submission towards.

Come to this meeting to discuss how freelance journalists and photojournalists can campaign to win funding connected to minimum rates, superannuation and timely payment. You do not need to be a member to attend.

Details: Tuesday 26th May, 7-8pm AEST online on Zoom

#Unionstrong
From the #MEAA (Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance - the #union for #journalists, #actors and #writers in #Australia):

"Apart from creating some of the most iconic characters on screen of the past 50 years, Harrison Ford is a staunch #unionist.

That's good to know as members of SAG-AFTRA head towards a possible strike if negotiations with Hollywood studios aren't resolved later this month. #strongertogether (Photo by Gage Skidmore)"
