Bill Skolnik, Executive Director
Toronto Musicians' Association
15 Gervais Drive, Suite 500
Toronto, ON M3C 1Y8
Dear Executive Director Skolnik:
Re:
Toronto Blue Man Group Boycott
I am disappointed
to learn that representatives of the Toronto production of
Blue Man Group have refused Local 149's requests to enter
into good faith negotiations with the intent of establishing
an Agreement covering the production. I find it unconscionable
that a U.S. based corporation would expect to operate in a
foreign country without respect for long established and accepted
business sector standards.
Rest assured
that the Federation is in full support of your efforts and
those of your CAEA and IATSE colleagues that stand with you.
We will inform our Locals and the more than 100,000 members
that we represent of our decision. Further, we will strongly
encourage them to request that their families and friends
also not patronize the Toronto Blue Man Group production.
I look
forward to joining you and Vice-President from Canada Bobby
Herriot in person on Tuesday, April 5th in support of the
official launch of the boycott.
Yours in solidarity,
Thomas F. Lee
President
