โ€œWe noticed that this year companies have been far more secretive about their pay and conditions โ€“ they now know we are watching and their exploitation will not go unchallenged," says Fair Fringe bit.ly/2JZAhG6

โ€œSome festival employers insist that if they paid their staff a proper wage their business would collapse. But the reality is that any business which canโ€™t afford to pay its staff properly cannot afford to operate. It is simply unacceptable." bit.ly/2JZAhG6

Poverty pay, potentially discriminatory hiring practices and use of "volunteers" are unfortunately still rife at #EdFringe tinyurl.com/y5o6h7ty #MakeYourFringe #EdFringe19 #FairFringe

Edinburgh is especially expensive during #edfringe and poverty pay is not enough to live on. You can't buy food with free tickets, or even use those tickets when you're working every single day. tinyurl.com/y62h8g35 #MakeYourFringe #EdFringe19 #FairFringe

After 12 years working for the Labour Party, 11 Leaders and one or two elections in between, just like Kieran Tierney it's now time for a new challenge.

The PWYW/free models are used by the likes of Shona McCarthy of the #edfringe society to defend exploitative employers but this flimsy argument is vehemently and rightly rejected by those involved. #edfringe2019 #edfringe19 #fairfringe Full article - bit.ly/2KrCtqb

Fair Fringe Mike Both Edinburgh Festival Fringe McCarthy & Edinburgh Comedy Awards Burns have shown their ignorance to how grass-roots #edfringe operates this year - and what the โ€˜spirit of the fringeโ€™ really is in 2019. Itโ€™s certainly not supporting large businesses increase profits underpaying workers #fairfringe
