Yahoo! News: "On April 12, the Associated Actors and Artists of America, the trade organization that determines performing arts union jurisdiction, ruled that AGMA (which represents U.S. opera performers, dancers and concert musicians) would preside over the Broadway production contracts for Come Fly Away.
Gordon stated to Playbill.com that AGMA was more participatory in negotiations than its sister union, AEA, and that its policy is to 'ask the cast what it would like to accomplish, rather than just telling the cast what we've done. Our members participate actively in both negotiation and administration.'
Equity responded in an April 15 statement, calling Gordon's comments 'inaccurate and a misleading representation of the facts. His claim that AGMA is better equipped to represent dancers on Broadway is nothing more than empty rhetoric designed to make a good sound bite.'"
