| How would you suggest that Equity stop Non-Equity tours? By definition, they have no jurisdiction over non-union actors. They can--and do--prohibit their own members from participating. Have I missed an obvious solution? | |

| One way would be to propose a tour contract that would make it possible for road producers to use Equity members on tours that would be unlikely to make money using the regular tour contract, either because the show is not a zeitgeisty phenomenon, or because it'll be the 2nd or 3rd national tour for the property. Perhaps they already do this, but, if they don't, it only makes sense to have their members working and, perhaps, earning a bit less money, than not working at all. | |

| I can't speak from personal experience--but I seem to recall complaints from members that Equity would grant whatever concessions in conditions or salaries that the producers would request. So there would already seem to be this option, and it hasn't stopped non-union tours from existing. (Perhaps another reader could provide more specific information.) | |
