broadway labor 2025 equity deal.

The union representing Broadway actors has reached a tentative labor agreement with commercial producers. The Actors’ Equity Association, which represents over 51,000 members, announced the three-year deal covering health care, scheduling, and physical therapy. The agreement now goes to members for ratification. The musicians’ union, representing 1,200 musicians, is still negotiating and has voted for a strike authorization. Both unions have been working under expired contracts. The actors’ breakthrough is a relief, as a strike could have crippled Broadway. The focus now shifts to the musicians as they continue bargaining.
