More on the attacks on unions

I just posted this on Facebook and was coming here to see if it had made it here yet.

Of course though they say how much they want to continue working with the unions and see them as vital to their success they are shutting down the Equity tour and allowing one of the non-Equity companies to take it over.

they need to read this on FOX, not on Broadway World where we all know this already - appreciate the gracious and thoughtful (and relatively non-incendiary) reply, but it needs to go to the folks who need to hear it!

That's the thing though, they could send it to Fox, but when was the last time Fox issued any sort of retraction?

Chances are the producers are not the ones behind the non-union tour; it usually is another production team - although there is some money involved - it is often an entirely different organization - often more then just a different shell business that is set up for a Broadway company and a touring company.

(I know Fox will never retract, just feels like...well, preaching to the choir - I would love to find a way to make the folks they are pandering to sit up and take notice)
