League and Union Schedule a Return to the Negotiating Table — Page 2

Ths is good news. The shorter the strike, the better for everyone.

Could the city or state impose a cooling-off period?

"Naturally, localonecrew has left the room after making a specious and completely untrue statement (about the producers and their lawyers). Perhaps a saner head from the union told him it doesn't do their case any good to have people on a public message board posting things that make them look like complete idiots.

Why are they back to the tables on Saturday? Because a certain Mayor talked to BOTH sides and told them it would be in everyone's best interests to do so. This he said as strongly as possible, and both sides got the message. "


1.i went to bed, early day on the pickets

2. the information i provided is 100% correct

3. your information is 100% incorrect. the mayor had NOTHING to do with the 2 sides returning to the table. Disney and the shuberts initiated the talks on saturday.

tell your producer masters that nobody is believing their lies.

I'm glad both side are finally coming to their sense to discuss their issues and finally resolve them. I swear, both parties are acing like a bunch of babies...refusing to talk...get over yourselves and get tgether to resolve this!

the press reported that the league and the union notified the mayor about the talks. anyone here can look those up and see that you are the profound liar here.
as to your "local one friends", i call shenanigans. we all got the news from our BA's. the news as repeated by me, here.

cut your losses and go tell your lies on some league message board.

I post under my real initials here

And certainly no other man in the world has the initials bk...

so, please enlighten this fool. who is BK?

a league shill who cant properly read a newspaper?

or, crusader of justice and truth?

tell us BK, who are you?

ok, so we'll say that the mayor called both sides up and said, "hey you guys need to go back to the table right now. it's in everyone's best interest to." what does that even mean? are they going to be swimming with the fishes if they don't negotiate? and how do you know this thing is going to be resolved by monday? sure, come monday everyone *might* be back at work, but that doesn't mean that it's resolved.

And who are you, localonecrew? Union shill, crusader of justice, stirrer of the pot?

I'm sure shubert alley has PMd you by now and you know exactly who I am. Not a producer, not a member of local one, just a professional who's a proud member of many unions and who's been working steadily in show business in one capacity or another since 1970, who has worked both sides of the table, worked with many of the casts of shows you've probably crewed, and one who's recorded many Broadway singers, cast albums, and who's provided lots of employment over the years. That's who I am. Who are you, pal? Step up to the plate - show some guts.

" ok, so we'll say that the mayor called both sides up and said, "hey you guys need to go back to the table right now. it's in everyone's best interest to." what does that even mean? are they going to be swimming with the fishes if they don't negotiate? and how do you know this thing is going to be resolved by monday? sure, come monday everyone *might* be back at work, but that doesn't mean that it's resolved."

And that's what happened. Did it work? I don't know, both sides are going back to the table. What most assuredly did NOT happen is what Mr. Localonecrew says in his original post. Will it be over on Monday? That's my guess, and I base it on the AFM strike of a few years ago, in which the week-long strike was settled in one day. I believe I said "in my opinion" but if I didn't let me say "in my opinion." I'm not the one making with the rhetoric here.

"And that's what happened. Did it work? I don't know, both sides are going back to the table. What most assuredly did NOT happen is what Mr. Localonecrew says in his original post."


ahh, backpedaling already. you said the reason they were going back is because of the mayor. now you sing a different tale.

my version is the true version. not the backpedaling lies of the self aggrandizing BK's.

You've said that you're part of a union, have worked in the industry since 1970 and your initials are bk.

Sorry, dude, that doesn't exactly narrow it down.

Most people on this board don't take the time to track back through every post you've ever made to try and piece together your identity.

Frankly, I've never seen your username prior to this thread, so I personally have no bloody clue who you are.

in other words, everyone supposedly knows who you are here but you are not going to say.

you have now officially become a boring poseur. added to the fact that you are a liar, a backpedaler, and a self-aggrandizer and that makes one sorry ass human.

you are now dismissed.

next!

Well, you would know all about boring poseurs, being the master poseur. I am Bruce Kimmel (BK). I have been an actor, director, writer, record producer of many Bway singers (Liz Callaway, Emily Skinner, Alice Ripley, Laurie Beechman, Randy Graff, Brent Barrett, Jason Graae, Rebecca Luker, Sally Mayes and on and on) and cast albums (the revivals of Hello, Dolly, The King And I, Little Me, and tons of off-Broadway shows, including I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), the Unsung Musicals and Lost In Boston series, well, over 150 albums and counting. Okay? Now, who are you? I think we'll get the real tale right now.
