Young Vic Staff Forum

This has been created in response to recent moves from management towards staff at Young Vic. This includes at best threatening language and at worst, sackings via email and redundancies. It has been created from a theatre which puts on inspiring and brilliant plays about peoples' uprisings. It has been created in a theatre that says 'it's a big world in here', but puts the weakest people in that world against the wall at the first opportunity.

Hush money

It has recently been reported to us that an usher who was dismissed via email with no discussion or warnings has been offered compensation with a clause that they do not talk about Young Vic in a negative light on social media.
We have heard this directly from the individual concerned but do not know more, or indeed concrete details of the case.
