Loeb. \u201cWorkers deserve lawful decision-making, transparency, and a real voice in choices that affect their livelihoods and this institution\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision does not end the labor disputes at the Kennedy Center, as the Kennedy Center has told its employees that the Center is considering all of its options. The Kennedy Center has not returned the laid-off employees to their jobs, despite calls by the Union to do so in light of the court\u2019s ruling. Moreover, unfair labor practice charges remain pending, contract negotiations are still unresolved, and workers continue to demand legally required negotiations &nbsp;over any changes that affect jobs, schedules, or working conditions. More demonstrations and legal actions are expected in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe fight to protect good union jobs at the Kennedy Center is far from over,\u201d Loeb said. \u201cOur members are ready to do their jobs. We expect management to do theirs by bargaining in good faith, respecting workers\u2019 rights, and honoring the public mission of the center.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C. \u2014 The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) said the May 29 federal court decision blocking the Kennedy Center\u2019s planned shutdown confirms what workers have warned for [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[22],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
