TheSpec: The Stratford Shakespeare Festival is facing the first labour action in its 60-year history, right on the verge of its Monday night season opening.
The 53 members of the box office staff (which also includes the festival’s call centre) turned down the festival’s contract offer on Wednesday, putting them in a strike or lock-out position immediately.
This is the first contract for the employees, who only recently joined Local 357 of International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
