New LORT contract

[hbelden]

I'll be working this summer on an LOA referenced to LORT-D.

With the new LORT contract, are there any changes to the Rehearsal section that would affect scheduling?

The press release from AEA doesn't mention anything about changes like that, so I guess I can plan that there aren't any, but I figured someone on here - Vernon? - would know for sure.

Thanks,

Thanks for your vote of confidence Heath, and speaking of vote...
I ask all AEA members for their vote in the current election of Council.

Okay, enough electioneering...

With regard to the new LORT contract, the Council of AEA must approve the newly negotiated document and then it goes to the membership for a final approval.

There are many areas of change that will provide for a better working arena, atmosphere and relationship between AEA and LORT. I look forward to a renewed contract and the opportunity to do what we all do best; Theatre.

So until the new contract is approved, we're all working under the old contract?

Yep, schedule under the old contract until a new APPROVED contract book is issued.

All I know about the new contract is there is a salary freeze for the first year at least.  

I am eager to see the new contract.
