Local 802 is pleased to report that “Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish” has agreed to sign a union contract covering musicians for this production. Therefore, the union is LIFTING our “Do Not Work” order for this show.
We commend the musicians who bravely took a stand against the unfair contract and turned down the work.
This victory shows the power of solidarity. In the past 24 hours, we saw an outpouring of support on social media and elsewhere after we sent out our original announcement.
We thank everyone who stood up for the musicians! Remember: any time you’re offered a job with substandard pay and benefits, please reach out to Local 802. When musicians stand together, we can achieve the respect that we all deserve.
