Las Vegas SUN: "With his face painted half-blue and half-red and his mouth open to shout, Dar Lawerence might have looked like an enraged Arizona Wildcats fan, but you rarely see one of those standing outside the Venetian, not with about 150 friends waving picket signs.
Lawerence was there with the stagehands union, IATSE Local 720, which claims it represents the crew for the Blue Man show and which the show claims does not. Hence the paint job: Lawerence says, 'Blue Man should be red-faced with shame.'"

i wish the article would of explained why the workers lost their union rights when they moved to a different venue.
that seems like a big part of the problem and there might be more to the situation then the press is reporting.
my advice for the guys on strike....they should picket right before the show starts then people coming to that area actually know who "the blue man" is.
When the production moved from The Luxor to The Venetian, the employees - who work for the hotel - changed employers. In the first case there was a union contract, in the second that was not the case.
