Actors' Equity Members Vote To Ratify Broadway Contract

Actors’ Equity has voted to ratify its contract with the Broadway League.

The vote comes after the union for actors and stage managers reached a tentative agreement with the Broadway League over a new contract Oct. 18, after threatening to strike if a deal could not be reached . After weeks of negotiations, Equity had voted to authorize a strike if necessary and had members sign strike pledge cards. A mediator ultimately stepped in and the tentative agreement was reached after an all-night session.

The musician’s union, Local 802 AFM, also reached a tentative agreement with the League Oct. 23, after threatening to go on strike the next day if a deal could not be reached. Members are still voting on whether to ratify that agreement.
