Signing the open letter takes less than a minute and can be done here.
Sign our open letterWe demand:
- A full time Chorus
- A full time wage
- No compulsory redundancies
We reject a proposal that would result in:
- At least a 15% cut to chorus members’ pay
- A reduction in contracted hours despite the high workload of performances and rehearsal
- A cut to the overall number of chorus members with real threat of compulsory redundancies
Save jobs, livelihoods and a treasured part of Welsh culture.
"I am a mother of three living a very basic lifestyle, these cuts will put me just above minimum wage and this is unsustainable for me and my children. With few opportunities here in Wales to transfer my skill set it could force me out of my home and possibly out of the sector."
Claire Hampton, Equity deputy (workplace representative) and Soprano, member of WNO chorus for 22 years
