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.
