Dancers' Alliance Launches Massive Campaign to Unionize Tours
What's choreographer Marty Kudelka's favorite part of being on tour? He doesn't have to make his bed every morning.
Kudelka, who has worked with Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake, is part of a group of performers, including singers, dancers and choreographers, who regularly tour with big name acts as part of their jobs. While many performers have a voice on the job when they work in music videos or on TV and film, they do not have the union contract for their tour work. This affects everything, from access to health insurance to retirement benefits and safety on the job.
