Threat of West End Strike Lifted
Variety: The threat of a strike by members of the U.K. union BECTU at West End and regional theaters owned by ATG (Ambassador Theater Group) — including the Lyceum (“The Lion King”) and the Apollo Victoria (“Wicked”) — has been lifted following the resolution of a pay dispute.
Negotiations between 25,000 member entertainment and media union BECTU and ATG — the largest owner/operator of theaters in the U.K — had broken down Feb. 25, prompting BECTU to issue a statement warning theatergoers to check in advance whether the shows they had booked might be affected.

I think it is good the people got what they wanted. I think personally striking would be extremely stressful. If you were unhappy with your job over one aspect and then striked for several weeks doing nothing why would you want to go back. I feel like striking is an excuse for a vacation really. The things that strikes have happened for over history are absolutely ridiculous. I am not saying this wasn't a valid strike but seems like more effort than need be.
