IATSE, the union representing the striking crew, has filed unfair labor practice charges against the theater, claiming management refused to bargain in good faith and demanded concessions before continuing negotiations.
The Atlantic Theater Company argues its proposed contract terms are similar to those of Actors' Equity and warns that IATSE's demands could lead to the demise of the theater and other struggling Off-Broadway institutions still recovering from the pandemic.
