No Deal Yet

No Deal Yet

The Broadway stagehands strike continues into its 18th day as negotiations between The League of American Theatres and Producers and Local One of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (I.A.T.S.E.) adjourned this morning at 7 a.m. after pulling another all-nighter with "incremental progress" being made.

Talks have yet to be rescheduled.

The Associated Press quotes Local One spokesman Bruce Cohen as saying:

There is no deal...There are no talks scheduled.

Yet that same news story reports that Cohen says that there is "not a breakdown" in the bargaining.
