What next for Broadway?
Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog: "One query that apparently isn't generating worries is whether the stagehands will actually vote to accept the terms of a deal that has so far been described as 'tentative,' pending an actual ballot of members of the Local 1 union. It's hard to imagine constituents being displeased with pay increases up to 4.5% a year (well ahead of inflation), for the next five years, while 'moppers' - those who mop the floor of a Broadway stage - still get their $56 (£27) an hour: a sum sure to make those who toil in a comparatively non-union-dominated UK theatre raise their collective eyebrows in amazement."
