If UC management can bring world class shows to Cal Performances, they can also provide fair pay and working conditions to the back stage workers who make the shows possible.

This is not acceptable. UC should adhere to decent working conditions. Shame on you!

Meanwhile, Matias Tarnopolsky, head of Cal Performances, has doubled his salary since being hired in 2009 making more than governor Jerry Brown and claims to be ignorant of the plight of these hard working stagehands! Really Mr. Tarnopolsky?

Management should spread the wealth from the stage hands all the way to the performers. Instead, they pocket the profits and grants.

It is a serious injustice that UC stagehands aren't being paid overtime even after working three 12 hour shifts in a row! Also, Cal Performances needs to support the professionalism of the people who work for it and the quality of it's productions with a reasonable number of permanent career positions

This abuse is happening system wide. It's no different here on the UCLA campus. It must be stopped!

Just because you're a public university doesn't mean you're exempt from treating your workers ethically.

Everyone deserves a fair workplace. UC Davis needs to be more worker friendly and that starts with the Stagehands!

Shame on the UC for adding to the abusive culture crushing the middle class in this country. Shame on you for feathering your own nests at the expense of workers. Shame.

The abuse of the stagehands at Cal Performances is staggering, treating dedicated and long-serving workers as disposable cogs in a money-drenched machine. The rakeoff charged to visiting companies for labor hours is absolutely staggering, far higher than any hiring hall charges for a unionized worker with full benefits in other industries. It's an insult and it has to be stopped.

I worked there long ago and it was exactly the same as it now. And tuition now is out-of-hand.
