HARD LINES ON STRIKE COULD OFF BROADWAY
NY Post: "AND now the game is: How long can they stand the pain? As the brutal stagehands strike enters its fifth day, Broadway producers have concluded that the rank and file is going to have to miss a few paychecks before everybody heads back to the bargaining table. And not just a couple of paychecks. More like three or four."

"When the actors and musicians start feeling the pinch, their union leaders will put intense pressure on the stagehands to make a deal.
That's what happened during the musicians strike four years ago. The stagehands walked out in sympathy. But after three days, they nudged the musicians back to the table."
I feel like the actors and musicians putting pressure on the stagehands won't have nearly as big an effect as the stagehands putting pressure on them. The only people who really could make the stagehands go back is the union itself disbanding the strike.
