I was walking in Downtown New Haven when I noticed a group of people picketing outside College Street Music Hall, a live performance venue that can fit up to 2,000 patrons. It turns out the picketers were members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stagehands (IATSE) Local 74. IATSE is a labor union that represents over 140,000 technicians, artisans, and craftspersons in the entertainment industry, and Local 74 is the chapter in Southern Connecticut. They were raising awareness about the fact that management at College Street Music Hall will not participate in IATSE health care and retirement plans.
I highly encourage people to learn more and follow the story by going to www.iatse74.org or visiting their Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/Iatse74).
