The Actors’ Equity Card…"Don’t Leave Home Without It!"

Actors' Equity Association News: You may remember the "Don’t Leave Home Without It" ad campaign from American Express– made famous by Karl Malden. Could that same tagline work with your Equity card? Have you thought about what your union card can offer beyond entry to EPAs or Chorus calls, basic wages, working conditions and numerous provisions in more than 30 agreements?

It's amazing how unions have managed to work themselves into every aspect of an actor's life, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, hey, free shoes are nice, and so are getting jobs and benefits. It may not be as universal as the Amex card, but it seems likes a very useful thing that you really should have on you all the time.
