I'm in a similar situation - except the biggest violation didn't come to light until after the fact. It was, however, the one that directly affected me.
I'm going to make a VERY, very long story short, and I also can't say too much about it anyway -- but, the biggest violation was the producer failing to cover the rehearsal period under the worker's compensation insurance. And the only reason anyone found that out was -- someone did actually get hurt.
Me.
I had to leave the project, and the producer did pay my medical bills...for about two months. Then he just stopped, even though I was still being treated.
Equity has called a lawyer for me. I am waiting until I know that that matter has been sorted out before I go to Equity and tell them everything else that went on (I don't want to go yet, for fear that it holds up my doctor getting paid even longer).
This is all very much after the fact -- this is a show that was happening in the summer of 2004. But, I definitely intend to tell Equity anyway -- even if it's only as a "just so you know to keep an eye on this guy next time" kind of thing.
