Performers with the English National Opera will potentially organize a strike in order to preserve their jobs and wages. Their union, Equity, is currently in the process of conducting a ballot among its members over the idea of a strike. The English National Opera is trying to cut costs with a potential wage cut of 25% for its employees. Over the past few months, the opera has struggled due to a chairman, executive director, and artistic director leaving the organization.
