Despite the fact that nothing may have been resolved, it atleast show some serious effort on all sides that the meeting was twelve hours long. In addition, it also shows that there is a real problem. If it was about money, I'm sure an offer would have been taken by now. The winds of change are making their way to Broadway and I wonder how it's going to effect the employees: negatively for some and positive for others? Either way, this is one strike that'll be remember, especially since Broadway was dark on Thanksgiving weekend!
They've been talking for a while. My family's thanksgiving plans as well as a lot of others were altered negatively by the strike. I'm hoping the strike will end soon so I can at least see a show over christmas break. It's inconvenient that they are striking during the busiest time of the year, although I understand why. Hopefully they will reach an agreement soon.
This is so anerveing. I can't believe this whole thing has gone on this long. I'm staring to loose my empathy for the stagehands because is it realy worth all thsi? They are jeprodizing a hell of alot of jobs just so they can make a few more bucks that in the long run hardly make up anything.
