A note from Local 802 NYC:
"Broadway Musicians:
Congratulations on a very inspired and successful Friday of action and
organizing! Its a huge victory for us that other theatre unions have voted to support our strike action and instruct their members to not cross our lines. Even though the other unions have decided to support us and not cross our picket lines we need to maintain a high level of pressure on the producers over the weekend. Please continue to check your email daily for strike action updates. Your theater committee reps should be keeping you abreast of developments as well. It is imperative that show regulars keep in contact with your sub lists to keep them in the loop.We will be posting at least one update for action every day.
Check your email often.
Here is the schedule for Saturday:
ALL MUSICIANS NEED TO REPORT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE SHOWS AT 12:30PM AND 6:30PM FOR PICKETING. BRING YOUR PICKET SIGN FROM FRIDAY NIGHT OR STOP BY THE UNION TO PICK UP A SIGN. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE OUT AS POSSIBLE, AS THE OTHER THEATRE UNIONS ARE PLANNING TO BE THERE IN SUPPORT OF US.
(If your Equity or Local 1 deputies have informed you that they need you to
form a picket line at times in addition to 12:30pm or 6:30pm at your
respective theaters, your pit must establish that line so that the other
unions have a legal reason not to enter the theaters.)
