Financial + Health & Well-being Support for Screen Workers
MSD now has a team dedicated to helping those people that would have been in work or affected by involuntary job loss due to the strikes.
Direct access to Financial Assistance: Dedicated to affected workers, the team can assess your eligibility for temporary financial support.
