	THEBIRTH OF ACTORS' EQUITY
		Equity meant not only to insist upon the managers disciplining their faithless members, but, the first bond between the two associations being about to terminate, to present new conditions that would make for the wiping-out of further injustices, especially those relating to the number of performances included in a week's work.
		By serving notice upon the Actors' Association that they no longer intended to abide by their agreement, that henceforth, in all infractions of contract, they would act as judge and jury without the agreed-upon representative of the actor being present, the managers themselves had nullified their contract.
		Notwithstanding that the actors' strike had nothing to do with "minimum wage," nor wage of any kind, which is one of the first considerations of all labor organizations, producers willfully declare that the object of Equity's strike was no different from that of any labor strike.

	Julie Odegard, "Actors Equity Association"
		Looking at the Actor's Equity from its beginnings in the late 1800's there are many signs of a union that has raised its members from being on the lowest rungs of humanity to theatre employees who are occasionally considered to be heroes in the eyes of the world.
		The actor could be fired without any justification, as long as the manager found his or her work to be "unsatisfactory." And to make matters worse, this usually happened after a performer had just come off stage from finishing a performance.
		If an AEA member is not performing his or her duties to the level of satisfaction of the theatre, the theatre must give a written warning to that person, and if the problem persists, the theatre can then appeal to Actors Equity.

	Actors, Directors, and Producers
		Actors, directors, and producers include stage and screen actors; narrators; magicians; clowns; comedians; impersonators; acrobats; jugglers; equestrians; amusement park entertainers; stunt, rodeo, and aquatic performers; casting, stage, news, sports, and public service directors; production, stage, and artist and repertoire managers; and producers and their assistants.
		Actors typically work long, irregular hours, sometimes under adverse weather conditions that may exist "on location," and must travel when shows are "on the road." Coupled with the heat of stage or studio lights and heavy costumes, these factors require stamina.
		Many actors who work more than a set number of weeks per year are covered by a union health, welfare, and pension fund, including hospitalization insurance, to which employers contribute.

		To the businessmen of the syndicate, the actor was not the backbone of the the- ater but merely a debit on an income statement, a commodity to be obtained as cheaply as possible.
		Equity’s negotiator, W. Rubin, seized the moment to lean across the table and say to the managers’ lawyer, “Let’s draft the Chorus Contract now.” Giving his opponent no time to rest or reflect on what he had agreed to, Rubin won concession after concession for the chorus.

		Actors' Equity Association was founded May 26, 1913, in response to centuries of exploitation at the hands of unscrupulous producers.

		Actors had nothing to provide them security: If they were on the road and the play they were in folded, they could be stranded in cities miles from home.
