Scabs mar rally

by Sandra Butler
A slip-up in hiring mars an otherwise excellent demonstration.

Here you are with a perfectly just and righteous cause, having a just and righteous strike and you have a rally.

In this case, an error was made by someone in the office who hired McCune A/V to supply the audio gear for their demonstration. Striking workers on the line, from the rank and file to the union's president, were shocked to discover the error. To rail against scabs taking your jobs while employing scabs to amplify your voice is nothing to shout about.

McCune A/V is under a sanctioned boycott by the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, Local 16, and should not be used by anyone having a rally, demonstration picket or any other righteous cause until they come to terms with the union. In fact, they shouldn't be used by anyone for anything until they settle.
