West End actors ready to walk out over pay

One of the little things that I like about this article was the small insight on days past and how the union helps. For example, not being paid for rehearsals. It's interesting to see how far we've come so we can truly appreciate what we have in front of us. What hits me most about this articl is it's positive outlook on the actors as a community. The solidarity could prove a strong force in the negotiations. With a changing economy it's about time the london theaters sought change.
