百老汇舞台管理协会宣布罢工

   继美国好莱坞编剧举行罢工后，百老汇的舞台管理协会Local One经过与剧院老板和制作人3个月的谈判破裂后，在他们的网站上宣布于当地时间11日起举行罢工示威。美娱乐业再遭重创。

　　据悉，谈判的焦点是工作的规则等问题。Local One和美国舞台制作人联盟签署的合同详细规定了一个舞台管理应该在什么时候开始工作，应该执行什么样的工作以及十分死板的工作时间。舞台管理们都表示这些规定让他们不得不一直长时间呆在舞台上但又无所事事。

　　Local One建议美国舞台制作人联盟更加灵活地安排舞台管理的工作时间，提高舞台管理的工作效率。为争取到这一修订，他们还愿意让舞台制作人联盟减去他们的一部分薪金。罢工会持续多久现在还难以确定。

  新华网纽约１１月１０日专电（记者李博）美国纽约市百老汇大街上多家剧场的舞台工作人员１０日举行集体罢工，导致《芝加哥》《歌剧魅影》等２６部长年上演的经典歌舞剧和音乐剧在本周末停演。

　  １０日上午１１点开始，百老汇大街上出现了数十人组成的罢工人群，他们举的牌子上写着：“反对减员，我们不干了。”

　  此次罢工的起因是美国舞台工作人员工会要求保证每场演出的舞台设计师人数，但美国剧院制作人联盟认为这应视具体情况而定。双方经过３个多月的谈判未能达成一致。

　  舞台工作人员的罢工给百老汇造成重创。纽约当地一家媒体在网站上甚至使用了《谁说（百老汇）一定会有演出？》这样的标题。当天，首先受到影响的是音乐剧《格林奇大闹圣诞节》。该剧制片人说：“真是太糟糕了，我们周六和周日的票都卖光了，现在的情况还来不及通知观众。”

　  美国艺人协会发表声明支持舞台设计师的行动，认为这一事件的责任完全在剧院制作人联盟。

　  目前，剧院制作人联盟正忙着给已经买了票的观众退票，但观众们还是感到非常失望。由于感恩节和圣诞节临近，１１月正是百老汇的演出旺季，许多人是专程而来。

  　纽约市长布隆伯格说，这次罢工对纽约市的经济影响很大。他希望谈判双方能够重新坐下来，尽快化解纠纷。

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Our latest attempt to reach a new agreement with The League of American Theatres and Producers was once again unsuccessful.

Pursuant to the strike requirements and provisions of the I.A. Constitution, International President Thomas C. Short has granted strike authority to Local One in our efforts to protect and defend our Union. Additionally, The Executive Board of Local One has unanimously agreed to exercise a strike, as previously authorized at our membership strike vote meeting held on Sunday October 21, 2007.

Last night at 7:00 p.m., I was directed by President Short through the I.A. office to exercise a strike at 10:00 this morning. Therefore, I am providing this as a formal and official notice that Local One of The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees is hereby ON STRIKE against all Theatres governed under the expired collective bargaining agreements of the Shubert, Jujamcyn and Nederlander organizations effective today November 10, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.

As of 10:00 a.m. today , all Local One represented stage employees are directed to stop all work and no longer provide any services whatsoever until and unless authorized by the Local One office. All Local One members should proceed as previously outlined and log onto the Local One website at www.iatselocalone.org or contact the hotline at 646-459-1916 with further instructions as we exercise our legal rights.

Respectfully and Fraternally,

James J. Claffey, Jr.
President
Local One, I.A.T.S.E.
