Public Theater Company Workers In New York City Vote To Join IATSE - Decision ‘Follows A Growing Trend Of Off-Broadway Companies Voting To Unionize,’ Including The Atlantic Theater Company & Titaníque Earlier This Year
Molly Higgins and Logan Culwell-Block at Playbill report Production Workers employed at Off-Broadway's Public Theater have officially voted to Unionize and are joining the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE). Of the company's Workers, 70% voted, with 178 for and 11 against. The decision follows a growing trend of Off-Broadway companies voting to Unionize, including the Atlantic Theater Company and Titaníque earlier this year. Off-Broadway Theatre Backstage Workers are currently largely Non-Union, unlike their Broadway counterparts. The Public declined to voluntary recognize the Backstage Workers' Union in March, prompting the decision to call for a vote.
