unions can be great
their contracts can be awesome
their power, might not

it is the season
when production’s values show
to pay — or not to

thanksgiving stand-ins
working wednesday, and monday?
two holiday pays

(no requirement
for a show to hire stand-ins
it always works with)

wednesday. then monday,
shows can bring in replacements:
no holiday pays

union should demand
thanksgiving stand-ins should work
their power, then seen

“wednesday. then monday,
shows can hire no replacements:
two holiday pays”

unions can be great
their contracts can be awesome
their power, might not

union should demand
thanksgiving stand-ins should work
their power, then seen
