WBEZ: "On the plus side: What’s most amazing about the Joffrey’s dust-up with AGMA, the dancers’ union, is that the performers have any bargaining power atall. Even at Hubbard Street—Chicago’s un-Joffrey—the dancers aren’t unionized, according to a spokesperson there. Though I suspect that HSDC’s pay scale is competitive, most dancers don’t do what they do for the money. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be fairly paid."
