A supermajority among the two-dozen or so cast members signed union authorization cards last week. That move reinforced the cast’s intention to hold a formal vote to unionize with Equity.

The Chipps performers have also filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. The time table for that vote is in the hands of the NLRB, likely within a month.

If management doesn’t offer Equity recognition, dancers plan to move forward with their authorization vote. The membership would cover the Chipps residency show in Las Vegas, and its national and international touring productions.

Primary Las Vegas entertainment unions are the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), with about 2,100 members. The Musicians Union of Las Vegas, American Federation of Musicians Local 369, reports a membership of 435. Nevada Ballet Theatre dancers joined the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) in September 2022.

Equity represents some 51,000 professional actors and stage managers on Broadway and in live theatre across the United States.

Edit: , -> ;


It seems many of you want third party voters to vote for Trump, but we do not support or vote for the duopoly.

Democrats are left of Jill Stein.

Your political views are skewed; I would double check the records:

Again, you made up your mind to have a competition of racing to the bottom, so you can continue to dismiss and ignore others.

I am for fighting for a better society for the future, and that starts by growing grassroots movements and continuing to help our local communities.

I see the Green Party as a stepping stone that will help us much more in the long term, tacking our systematic problems.

That is why some are for supporting the third party that is anti-genocide instead of the duopoly. 

Both Trump and Harris will continue the status quo.

Nice try.

I know you would rather I vote for Trump than Dr. Jill Stein, but I do not support the duopoly.

Again, the duopoly is the staus quo, it will not help fix the systematic problems our society faces.

I see the duopoly as the fascists, though...

Voting for the status quo for many decades did not improve the lives of workers. 

In fact, we are involved in multiple wars, and our economy is not doing so well again.

I don't think we will agree on this topic.

That is why we differ on who we are willing to vote for and how high or how low our standards have become.

Political tribalism is working really well to keep dividing us.

You have already made up your mind that everyone who does not follow your ideals must have much more privilege than yourself.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Voting and protesting: to create a better society, people need to be willing to demand more than what the status quo can provide.

Political Shitposting

It is a big umbrella when talking about the duopoly.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

True, that is why we should continue to be involed in our local community and supporting organizations that help workers.

An example of one such organization that is fighting and demanding higher standards for workers:

WE DEMAND

  1. Workers Need a Real Raise — $25/Hour Minimum Wage
  2. Good Union Jobs for All
  3. Fight Racism, Sexism & All Oppression
  4. Quality Affordable Housing & Free Healthcare for All
  5. End the Genocidal War on Gaza — No Military Aid, No Occupation
  6. No More Sellouts — We Need a New Party^[[1] https://www.workersstrikeback.org/]

The political system is broken. Over 60% of us now say the two-party establishment has failed us and we need a party that serves the people.

Jill Stein is running for President to offer a better choice for the people. Join us! JillStein2024.com

New York gives us until May 28 to submit 90,000 signatures and we need your help. ANYONE can support our efforts: http://jillstein2024.com/nyballot

NY's oppressive ballot access law has tripled their ballot access requirements, but we're going all out to make sure over 13 million New York voters have a pro-worker, anti-war, anti-genocide, climate action choice on the ballot. Help gather signatures in the state, share this with your NY networks, or contribute to help our drive!

 

Looks good!

Let us know if you have recommendations or if you would like to submit one for the community!
