Congratulations to Our Friends at First Avenue

Here are three news articles detailing the workers of First Avenue voting to unionize for better wages and working conditions.... More than 200 service workers at First Avenue, 7th Street Entry, Depot Tavern, Turf Club, Fine Line Music Café, Palace Theatre, and Fitzgerald Theater petitioned to unionize.

Most stagehands know they are required to work an increasing number of days (for an increasing number of years) to advance from a given letter list to the next higher list. (This allows us to refer more experienced people first, and helps ensure newer people have the opportunity to learn from those with more experience and stronger skills.

Why: THE MINNESOTA AFL-CIO HAS PROCLAIMED SEPTEMBER 4th SAG-AFTRA SOLIDARITY DAY!! This is the perfect way for us and SAG-AFTRA members to come together at the AFL-CIO Labor Pavilion to show our solidarity and feel the love from all our allies within the Minnesota AFL-CIO. We will hear speeches from local leaders of SAG-AFTRA and labor leaders from around the state.

SAG-AFTRA Twin Cities is holding a Strike Solidarity Gathering in Minneapolis and everyone is welcome! Join with striking SAG-AFTRA members to show local support for our union family who are on the line across the country! SAG-AFTRA staff and local leaders will talk about what these powerful members are fighting for, and will share how you can lend your solidarity to the cause.

May 5, 2023, GENEVA (AP) — The World Health Organization said Friday that COVID-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency, marking a symbolic end to the devastating coronavirus pandemic that triggered once-unthinkable lockdowns, upended economies worldwide and killed at least 7 million people worldwide.

A key index of underlying inflation that is closely followed by the Federal Reserve remained elevated last month, keeping the Fed on track to raise interest rates next week for the 10th time since March of last year. The index, which excludes volatile food and energy costs to capture “core” prices, rose 0.3% from February to March and 4.6% from a year earlier...

From Playbill, April 3rd, 2023. The theatrical union, representing actors and stage managers, has authorized, though not yet enacted, a strike of all touring productions following an impasse in negotiations with The Broadway League. Actors' Equity Association, representing professional actors and stage managers, has authorized its Executive Director, Al Vincent, Jr.

Per CNN, March 14, 2023. CPI measured 6% for the year ended in February, down from January’s 6.4% and in line with economists’ expectations. Shelter prices were the largest contributor to the monthly increase, accounting for 70% of February’s gain, according to the BLS. Shelter prices were up 0.8% for the month and 8.1% year over year.

Inflation surged in January by the most in three months, according to the latest Consumer Price Index released Tuesday. But despite the monthly increase of 0.5%, inflation continued to slow on a year-over-year basis to 6.4%. (This does NOT mean prices are coming down, they are only GOING UP AT A SLOWER RATE.)
