Educators in West Contra Costa are prepared to strike over pay, health care, staffing, special education, and district funding disputes.
Broadway musicians voted overwhelmingly in favor of authorizing a strike Sunday night, threatening significant disruptions to New York City's iconic theater scene if their demands are not met at the bargaining table this week. The musicians, who have been working without a contract on Broadway since Aug. 31, outlined their demands in an open letter to the Broadway League on Oct. 1. They include higher wages, better health care coverage, and protections from layoffs.
