Blue in Toronto...

I may have to go to Toronto specially to see the Blue Man Group. I like their politics.
A coalition of entertainment unions in Toronto is upset with the stage act Blue Man Group.

At issue: Blue Man Group's decision not to use union labour for its upcoming Toronto show, which will debut June 7.

The unions say it's unheard-of for a production with 70 performers, musicians and stagehands to open in the city without making sure a portion of the work goes to union members.

They're calling for a boycott of the show unless Blue Man Group agrees to sign union contracts.
The Blue Man Group says the boycott is not about social justice, but power. They're right.
