The goal of this petition is to make changes to strike's current structure and process in order to ensure that all individuals involved (crew, performers, & staff) feel safe, organized, respected, and part of a team building experience. This petition is acknowledging that the current structure and process has immense flaws in organization, and making people feel safe, respected and part of a team. This petition suggests that assignments and duties for strike should be assigned to each performer/crew member prior to the strike of the show. Each individual should be placed into a group with specific tasks that align with their abilities and knowledge. Once the group has completed their tasks, performers/crew members are free to leave. This petition also suggests that performers/crew members are given a 30 min-45 min window of time after the show to visit with family, friends, and loved ones who came to see the show, as well as time to prepare themselves for the strike duties ahead. This petition outlaws loading in the next show.

DISCLAIMER: the intention of this petition is NOT to call out any person or group for their lack of hard-work (the backstage crew is respected and recognized for their long hours of labor). The objective of this petition IS to catalyze ACTION in order to alter and/or implement certain arrangements to the striking process which will ensure an equal, safe, and efficiently-structured “Strike” for all people involved (performers & crew members).

Team Work Makes The Dream Work!
