A supermajority among the two-dozen or so cast members signed union authorization cards last week. That move reinforced the cast’s intention to hold a formal vote to unionize with Equity.

The Chipps performers have also filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. The time table for that vote is in the hands of the NLRB, likely within a month.

If management doesn’t offer Equity recognition, dancers plan to move forward with their authorization vote. The membership would cover the Chipps residency show in Las Vegas, and its national and international touring productions.

Primary Las Vegas entertainment unions are the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), with about 2,100 members. The Musicians Union of Las Vegas, American Federation of Musicians Local 369, reports a membership of 435. Nevada Ballet Theatre dancers joined the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) in September 2022.

Equity represents some 51,000 professional actors and stage managers on Broadway and in live theatre across the United States.

The climate crisis, like so many of the world's problems, is a disaster brought to you by both Democrats and Republicans. -- Dr. Jill Stein

Antony Blinken approved Israel bombing aid trucks in Gaza, a war crime.

Blinken also lied to Congress about Israel deliberately starving Gaza - all to keep illegally arming the genocide.

We demand @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris remove @SecBlinken and stop arming Israel NOW! -- Dr. Jill Stein

The Bernie to Biden-Bro crew is melting down at the realization that selling out their principles wasn’t a requirement. It was an option they chose. -- BJG

2024 Presidential candidate Jill Stein returns to Bad Faith to respond to Dr. West saying during his last appearance that he had lost all respect for Dr. Stein, and that she is "addicted" to running for office, before moving on to discuss her recent arrest at a campus protest, new developments in Gaza, including the invasion of Rafah and Biden's disappearing "red line," and how the Green Party plans to be competitive against the two major parties and the well funded RFK Jr. campaign. She talks ballot access, consolidating the left vote, Dr. West's criticism of the Green Party's racial platform, and more.
