Union's Charges
Actors' Equity Association announced yesterday that it had filed an unfair labor practice charge against the Supper Club and its owner, Martin Thesing. Equity accused the Supper Club in the Hotel Edison, at 240 West 47th Street, Manhattan, of refusing to permit the revue ''The Rat Pack Is Back,'' produced, written and directed by David Cassidy (''The Partridge Family''), to continue performances last month because union members were represented in the cast. Equity added that the Supper Club replaced the show with a similar but nonunion production, ''Frank, Dean & Sammy, Live in Concert.'' Mr. Thesing said in a statement, ''The Supper Club is a completely nonunion house and therefore never had any contracts whatsoever with any of the actors in 'The Rat Pack Is Back.' ''
