Gotta love the ignorance of union goons who believe that their jobs belong to them and not to their employer.  If a company takes measures to cut costs, when it is currently looking at a $5 million deficit, that is the company’s prerogative.  That is until the unions get their panties in a wad.  Here’s what’s currently happen in union-haven New York City:

A union has filed a federal complaint against the troubled New York City Opera, saying the company’s plans to move out of Lincoln Center after 45 years undermines the labor rights of the singers, dancers and stage crew members who work for the company.

The American Guild of Musical Artists says the opera’s move to a smaller venue and a shorter schedule will mean less work for union members, who are usually guaranteed a certain number of work weeks per year. It filed a complaint on Thursday with the National Labor Relations Board saying the opera should have negotiated any move with the union.

“They have a legal obligation to bargain and give us all their information,” Gordon said. “They can’t just decide, `I’m going into business somewhere else, find me if you can.’”

The union represents about 200 workers at the opera, including about 50 choristers and 10 production workers.

The union’s complaint says the planned move will have the effect of “chilling the union and its members in the exercise of their rights.”
