You probably have already heard that late last night negotiators for Local One IATSE and the League reached a tentative agreement ending the first Local One strike on Broadway in that union's 121 year history. While we do not have the details of the agreement, we know that stagehands are going back to work with their heads held high and all who work on Broadway can be justly proud of the solidarity demonstrated over the last two and a half weeks.
Musicians affected by the strike should contact their house contractor to verify the schedule. The intention expressed by the League was to resume Thursday.
Musicians should be especially proud of the solidarity shown to the striking stagehands by pit orchestras. During everyday of this strike and at every theatre, musicians were there is support of our Local One sisters and brothers. |
