OPERA chorus members have decided on further industrial action at the Welsh National Opera (WNO) this week.

Equity said chorus members voted unanimously to take further action short of a strike, targeting performances on February 27 and March 1. 

Industrial action has already been taken by the WNO chorus with members wearing #SaveOurWNO T-shirts during performances, as well as leafleting audience members about why they are taking industrial action.
