After two long days of intense negotiating late last week, IATSE Local 22 reached a tentative agreement with the National Theatre. “The lines of trade unionism were held and we were able to negotiate an 8.25% increase over a 3-year period while preserving our longstanding core conditions,” reported Local 22 President Chuck Clay. The deal is subject to ratification by Local 22’s membership.
Here’s today’s labor history: On this date in 1913, seventy-two copper miners’ children died in a panic caused by a company stooge in Calumet, Michigan who shouted “fire” into a crowded hall where the children had gathered. They were crushed against closed doors when they tried to flee. Today’s labor quote is by Confucious: Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
