From afar, meaning I’m traveling, I don’t know the exact details of the deal, but the stagehands strike is over in NYC. The New York Times reports with this lead paragraph:

The league representing Broadway’s theater owners and producers and the union representing its stagehands announced a settlement last night, bringing to an end a strike that had shuttered most of Broadway for 19 days, disrupted the plans of thousands of theatergoers and cost the city tens of millions of dollars in lost revenues.

    It’s always interesting how The New York Times frames the story. Do you think it would be too hard for someone to write in the lead paragraph something like "bringing to an end a strike that stagehands waged to protect hard-fought protections won over decades…" and then include the rest of the details? Well, alright, I’m naive to think the paper of record would ever stoop to such reporting…
