Stagehands and Producers Set to Talk

NY Post: "Further spurring the talks between Local 1 and the League of American Theatres and Producers will be the presence at the negotiations of two high-powered observers: Robert Johnson, a veteran Disney executive with extensive labor-negotiating experience, and Tom Short, the head of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, the parent union of Local 1, said an official from another union who has knowledge of the negotiations but declined to be identified because the official was not authorized to comment."
