Striking stagehands - and friends - march down Broad Street

www.philly.com: A nighttime projectionist set up in the middle of Broad Street, beaming anti-management messages onto a building. Protesters with strike placards facing the plate-glass windows of a theater lobby while staring down customers inside. A labor dispute in which both sides appropriate the messages of Martin Luther King, Jr. Philadelphia may be used to strikes at construction sites and outside corporate corridors, but this one is different. For one thing, the workers in question have already resigned themselves to an almost comical raise: an additional 25 cents per hour.
