Good to see such a strong theater community display solidarity not only with labor but also with the greater implications, how is our democracy impeding on our rights? Wisconsin wasn't just about the collectively bargaining rights of the local unions it was about the voice of the people of Wisconsin. So when a theater union says they support labor, they are not only declaring their own rights to organize, bargain, and work they are supporting the voice of the people.
Very fitting with May Day right around the corner.
