It's nice, in this economy, to see stagehand unions being reasonable. The green page has been littered recently with articles about unions striking, or otherwise doing things which harm the organizations they work for. While I understand that unions are not always (in fact seldom are) the bad guy, it seems like both sides need to be a little more understanding about the current economic situation. This is the first example I've seen of a Union making sacrifices for the sake of the arts.
