There's something about arts work that makes people think "Oh, you must be so thankful to have an opportunity perform!"
Just so we're clear:
1. NOT all arts workers are performers.
2. All arts workers ARE workers, with bills to pay just like you.
3. Arts work is WORK.

Bargaining update: The pressure of our strike vote has brought some movement, but the company’s latest wage counter is still insufficient. Their proposed salary floor of $52k is still well below industry standards; annual increases of 1.5% won’t keep pace with the cost of living.

The Arts & Culture sector is vital to New York City's economy, eh?
Maybe it's time to elect some arts workers. 😉
In 2020, NYC was missing almost $15 billion in contributions to the local economy due to Broadway’s shutdown. The arts are a huge economic driver across the country. This news is the light at the end of the tunnel for theatre workers who have been without work for over a year.
