"Actors' Equity is gearing up for upcoming negotiations for a new Broadway contract with healthcare, improved scheduling and better sick coverage among the priorities."
"The union held a rally in Times Square Wednesday, with Actors' Equity president Brooke Shields taking the stage alongside Equity executive director Al Vincent Jr, AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler and several other union leaders, in front of a rain-soaked crowd of various union members.
