Broadway Stagehands and Producers Continue Talks

New York, NY —

Broadway stagehands and theater producers are continuing their negotiations. Both sides returned to the bargaining table Saturday, a week after a walkout by the union, Local One, shut down more than two dozen plays and musicals. Pressure to settle the contract dispute is increasing as the profitable Thanksgiving holiday week approaches. Before the strike, stagehands had been working without a contract since the end of July. Negotiations have focused on work rules governing how many stagehands are required to open a Broadway show and keep it running.
