Broadway Shocker

I hadn't read the NYTimes in a while, so when I found this I was in SHOCK. I knew that playwrites had a strike this week against producers, but I had no idea how widespread the issue was.
But, I really to give the unions a lot of credit for putting their foot down. I can't imagine it being easy. I mean, artists already have a hard enough time making money and getting stable incomes, and now they're refusing to work just so that their voices are heard. I hope a lot of good comes out of this...that a compromise is made and producers stick to it.
