NUTCRACKER STAGE UNION FORMS “SOLIDARITY SUBCOMMITTEE” FOR TEACHERS

“This is not really about money the district is union busting, and I think that we should just call it that.”

Dateline February 14, 2014 Portland Oregon: At last night’s “Teachers Community Forum” held at the Portland Association of Teachers Union Hall, a Local Stage Union pledged to man picket lines with Portland teachers when they strike. Aquilas (?) is a representative of IATSE Local 28 which apparently mans the production of The Nutcracker for Portland Public Schools field trips. “We have actually set up a subcommittee to do solidarity work for the PAT (Portland Association of Teachers),” she informs.
