Welcome to Episode 25. I am back on the park bench. I spend the whole of the swim, contemplating, what this episode would be, and there's a lot of talk at the moment about ChatGTP and artificial intelligence. And I really wanted to talk about that, however, terribly sorry if you were thinking, Oh, the title hasn't given that bit away. That will be next week or I might make another one but on my way out of the pool, I received a phone call from the East Midlands regional organiser in base of equity.
Equity is going through a period of change right now. And one of that structures that is changing is the branch structure. Buckle UP!

What is this new branch?
The new Equity branch in the East Midlands is an important development for the union and its members in the region. It will provide local representation and support for members, who will have access to branch officers and regional representatives who can assist them with issues such as contracts, health and safety, and employment rights. The branch will also provide opportunities for members to network and engage with their peers, enabling them to share knowledge and experiences, as well as stay informed about industry developments and opportunities.
