The Union Forever

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN GOLDSTEIN



Musicians Local 8 is fighting for a first contract at the Skylight Opera

Theater. The Musicians won a representation election in January of

2003. The employer has yet to agree on payments to the union pension

fund, a fair pay scale, and job security issues. Since January, the

management has agreed to only one face-to-face meeting with Union

negotiators.



Please support the Musicians by joining an informational picket line

(kazoos will be provided) on Friday, September 24 at 7 PM at the

Broadway Theater Center, 158 N. Broadway. That is opening night for the

Skylight production of Mozart's "Abduction from the Seraglio".



In addition, the Musician's need volunteers for help on the evening of

Wednesday, September 29. Please call Dave Lussier (332-5000 or

262-385-1862) if you can participate in that activity.
