On the Writers and Stagehand Strike:
Nobody likes to strike. It is an action that has many consequences but the need is to keep the big picture in view. If we refuse to stand up for what is right, there will be nobody afraid to do what is wrong...

As per Local One Website

We are LOCAL ONE
The stagehands who work behind the scenes
for all the shows on Broadway

WE TRULY REGRET THAT THERE IS NO SHOW.

Theatre owners and producers are demanding a 38 % cut in our jobs and wages. They have built a $20 million fund to be used against us from the sale of theatre tickets to the public.

Broadway is a billion dollar a year industry and has never been more profitable than now.

Cuts in our jobs and wages will never result in a cut in ticket prices to benefit the public, but only an increase in the profits for producers.

Unlike the producers, we are not fighting for our second or third homes; we are fighting to keep the one that we have.

We ask for your understanding in our efforts to defend ourselves and protect our families.

Sincerely,
The Brothers and Sisters of LOCAL ONE, I.A.T.S.E.
