Canadian Actors Prepare to Strike
Backstage: "U.S. actors are already enjoying holiday down-time: TV series are on hiatus, film production has slowed, curtains are coming down on many plays, and thesps are making their way home to families eager to hear about their adventures in acting. Actors north of the border, however, are preparing for what could be a not-so-happy new year. Rocky contract negotiations between North American producers and the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists are increasing the likelihood that ACTRA's 21,000 members will go on strike early next year.

Oh~ My God~ Finally, Canadian actors strike!
Then there might be no show temporarily. It means stagehands might not have jobs, either.
A few years ago, a big strike of technicians blowed all over France. That made several Summer Festivals canceled, including the famous "Festival Avignon".
What happens in the passion mind of "Theatre People"? Can't "we" make a human, pity and respect...deal? stike=no job=no money
"We" can't be selfish, as politicians. After all, performing arts sometimes meet difficulties to survive. We need to respect each other.
