B'way Labor Supports Stagehands
Backstage: "Labor groups representing a broad swath of Broadway employees -- including actors, musicians, press agents, costumers, and box office personnel -- appear to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Local One of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, the union representing stagehands, as it faces a possible lockout by the League of American Theatres and Producers."
I am just aware of almost all kinds of worker on Broadway striked to friendly response the Actor's strike in 1919 in Tina's SM2. Similarly, labor groups on Broadway just stated to support Local one in 2007. I really admire American workers' united spirit. It seems to seldom or hardly happen in my country.
ReplyDeleteThis article refers that the other types of Broadway's income in addition to Box Office, which Don has talked about in “Theatre Management”, yet only the number of Box Office is filled into the report. Also, the article pointed out the IATS's performance call which has ever caused our exciting discussion in PM1 class. I think an onlooker might feel something "interesting". However, only sincere cooperative relationship may create the mutual benefits.
