Performances of Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas resumed today at 11 A.M. after a Manhattan judge ordered that the show must go on! The show is strictly a holiday affair, with performances set to end January 6. Producers cited a special contract between the show and Jujamcyn Theaters, and argued that the strike didn't effect their production.
But this is just a single victory for producers, who are still losing millions in revenue from the strike that centers on how many stagehands a show must hire. While the stagehands union is certainly not the blue collar, middle American union that most of us think of when we hear "organized labor," this is an interesting case. To some, the efforts by the union to require that producers hire more stagehands than they feel is necessary is indicative of how unions hinder business.
But to others, millionaire producers depriving stagehands of their jobs is Scrooge-like.

This is one of the worst pieces of writing I've ever seen. I was doing a quick search for news about the Broadway strike and this post came up
You have mixed up two different lawsuits, the names of the different groups involved and the basic facts!!
You should be ashamed of yourself for writing something so incorrect and stating it as fact. I hope you aren't looking to make journalism your career. Real journalists FACT check before they hit the print button.

After 2 posts about how wrong this information is, you have edited the post (without a note about being edited) and still have not checked your facts.
The information in this post is INCORRECT. Please edit it to an empty post, remove it or get the facts! This is an embarrassment.
