This is a great example of the power of the Union. It is pretty well known (I think) that the August Wilson center has been struggling for a while now and I am not surprised that they were facing criminal charges. That would be what happens when you don’t pay union workers. Without a powerful union behind a cause like this one is much more difficult to win. I was a part of a group of non union people who are still owed money from the Joffery Ballet. I did not have much hope for the legal case because of the lack of power that I possess as a worker. Because of the nature of our work it is really crappy when theater people are not paid because it is not as though income is from a steady job. On a bit of a separate note it is crazy how long these cases take, according to the article it has been over a year since the checks were owed.
