Hi Claude
My grandfather's name was McNamara...maybe we're related? I thought it was an Irish name but I'll have to Czech...
Seeing as you directed your last beautifully articulated points at me (or a typo who looks like me?), I feel I have a right to reply.
There is nothing wrong with 'giving the underdog a chance to get into the biz' if it means you are letting people here know of work opportunities and making it possible for newcomers to audition. You would not be the first to do so, and that's something this site is sometimes good for.
However, as a Branch Councillor of the MEAA (Equity) it is part of my duties to investigate any companies that appear to be recruiting unpaid workers; not issuing standard contracts; not offering award conditions; not conducting auditions in a legitimate manner; not being forthcoming with information; or generally not showing themselves to be accountable.
Without these checks, you're actually NOT making it easier for people to get into the industry, you're creating a bit of a nightmare for them.
Please note I'm not accusing YOU of anything, but these 'various companies' who are currently 'hiring' you seem to have a bit to answer for, and at this stage I would have to recommend that people seek legal advice (free to Equity members!) before engaging in any written or verbal contracts with them.
The only thing that might make my 'little life' sad would be to think that someone unwary had been sucked in because I hadn't voiced my opinion about you. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a bit happier!
Cheers
Craig
