PLEASE BOOST THIS!!!
These women should not be forced to perform for a man they don’t like….LET THE PRODUCERS KNOW
you should actually call their union because the union is responsible for not protecting their workers.

You do know that you’re just spreading misinformation, right? Sign ups for the gig are/were completely voluntary.
Oops. Now I do. You’re right, that was my screw up. I’m sorry, everyone.
Interesting write-up of how the story developed, for anyone curious. The most relevant bits:
Thursday night
Any talk of boycotting the performance seemed to be quashed by the Rockettes’ union — the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA). In an email obtained and published by Broadwayworld.com, a union representative wrote that “Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace.” The letter noted that dancers who are not full time did not have to sign up to perform, but “if you are fulltime, you are obligated.”
The story was widely circulated by news outlets, including CNBC, Rolling Stone, the BBC, and NPR.
Friday
…The AGVA also clarified the language of their Thursday email, stating: The Union never “demanded” that the Rockettes perform at the inauguration. A message was sent to the Rockettes last evening that stated the terms of their contract. There is a small group of year round Rockettes who are contractually obligated to perform at scheduled events throughout the year. We are pleased that Radio City has agreed that for those Rockettes with year-round employment, participation in this event will be voluntary as well.
