We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees District 2.

The short explanation of this alert was:

 

Forum stagehands, janitors, and building engineers who were forced out of their jobs by the venue's new management are reaching out to the band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, to help them in their fight. The workers will also be picketing outside the Forum during the band's concerts on Thursday, Aug. 31 and Friday, Sept. 1.

The workers are asking the Red Hot Chili Peppers to support them by telling the Forum management that they will not return to the Forum unless this labor dispute is fairly resolved. We would also like the band to acknowledge the workers who will be on the picket line outside during the show.

After 39 years at the Forum, more than 120 workers now find themselves on the sidewalk after having their wages and benefits slashed and the doors to the facility closed in their faces. For years the Forum worked with the unions, bringing good, middle class jobs to the community.

Please send a letter to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, asking them to support picketing workers!
