A first: Chippendales at the Rio to unionize (www.reviewjournal.com)
 

A supermajority among the two-dozen or so cast members signed union authorization cards last week. That move reinforced the cast’s intention to hold a formal vote to unionize with Equity.

The Chipps performers have also filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. The time table for that vote is in the hands of the NLRB, likely within a month.

If management doesn’t offer Equity recognition, dancers plan to move forward with their authorization vote. The membership would cover the Chipps residency show in Las Vegas, and its national and international touring productions.

Primary Las Vegas entertainment unions are the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), with about 2,100 members. The Musicians Union of Las Vegas, American Federation of Musicians Local 369, reports a membership of 435. Nevada Ballet Theatre dancers joined the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) in September 2022.

Equity represents some 51,000 professional actors and stage managers on Broadway and in live theatre across the United States.

Kamala Harris may not say "drill baby drill", but she does brag about expanding fracking and record oil production under the Biden-Harris administration.

The climate crisis, like so many of the world's problems, is a disaster brought to you by both Democrats and Republicans. -- Dr. Jill Stein

Edit: , -> ;

It seems many of you want third party voters to vote for Trump, but we do not support or vote for the duopoly.

Democrats are left of Jill Stein.

Your political views are skewed; I would double check the records:

Again, you made up your mind to have a competition of racing to the bottom, so you can continue to dismiss and ignore others.

I am for fighting for a better society for the future, and that starts by growing grassroots movements and continuing to help our local communities.

I see the Green Party as a stepping stone that will help us much more in the long term, tacking our systematic problems.

That is why some are for supporting the third party that is anti-genocide instead of the duopoly. 

Both Trump and Harris will continue the status quo.

Blinken also lied to Congress about Israel deliberately starving Gaza - all to keep illegally arming the genocide.

We demand @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris remove @SecBlinken and stop arming Israel NOW! -- Dr. Jill Stein

As time ran out to evacuate before Hurricane Milton hits Florida, Disney World and Universal kept workers on the job. This should be illegal.

We can't rely on corporations to put workers' safety over profits. This is why we need strong laws and strong unions to protect workers. -- Dr. Jill Stein

Nice try.

I know you would rather I vote for Trump than Dr. Jill Stein, but I do not support the duopoly.

This could be the Green Party’s vote share everywhere if you had as much integrity as the average Muslim voter when it comes to genocide. (lemmy.world)

Again, the duopoly is the staus quo, it will not help fix the systematic problems our society faces.

Voting for the status quo for many decades did not improve the lives of workers. 

In fact, we are involved in multiple wars, and our economy is not doing so well again.

I don't think we will agree on this topic.

That is why we differ on who we are willing to vote for and how high or how low our standards have become.

Political tribalism is working really well to keep dividing us.

You have already made up your mind that everyone who does not follow your ideals must have much more privilege than yourself.

Voting and protesting: to create a better society, people need to be willing to demand more than what the status quo can provide.

This imaginary gun is being held by the duopoly against the populace every four years, just so that the status quo can continue.

Political theater from both parties. 

Biden and Harris are the current president and VP, happily funding and supporting Israel. 

Raise your standards.
