Also re: the strike.

Yes, Local One are being stubborn asshats, but at least it's honest asshattery for the most part. Every single statement I've seen from the League has been so shamelessly manipulative and passive-aggressive that I just have zero sympathy. Pre-emptively cancelling the next week of performances smacks of "nya nya, let's see who runs out of money first," but following it up with a statement about how it's all the fault of the greedy union bums is just tacky.

I have no doubt that both sides are responsible for the negotiations standstill, but the producers lose so many points for trying to paint themselves as the victims. Ugh.
