Actors’ Equity, Theater Owners and Producers to Begin Contract Talks

New York Times: "Officials from Actors’ Equity Association, the union representing actors and stage managers, are scheduled to begin contract talks with Broadway producers and theater owners on Friday. But officials from both sides said these negotiations were not likely to be as contentious as last year’s talks with the stagehands’ union, which culminated in a 19-day strike that shut down most of Broadway."

It is good to see that the talks appear to be going smoothly, unlike other labor disputes in the entertainment industry. As the article points out, hopefully people at both sides of the table will work together professionally and amicably to put together the new contract. Since both sides agree about some of the points in the negotiations, this should help things go well.
