(Picture: PA Wire)Some of the West End’s biggest shows could be hit by strike action after performers union Equity put in a 17% pay claim for thousands of its members in theatreland.
Union insiders expect the claim, which also includes a bid for more time off, to be rejected by the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) and said “nothing is off the table” as part of a campaign for better wages and conditions including a strike.
