Despite calls for the resignation of key officials, none of the 21 committee members stepped down, and elections were expected within five months. Reform demands included formal recognition of acting as a profession, a new registration system, professional benefits, and improved work conditions for actors, such as shift systems, overtime pay, and a minimum wage.
