The AGMA Dancers and Stage Managers of New York City Ballet need our help! These union members boycotted the red carpet and dinner at the Fall Fashion Gala on October 8 due to the current state of contract negotiations at NYCB. Following the boycott, Management and AGMA returned to the table in between performances on October 11.
The result? Management still has not offered fair wages,  increasing their proposal by just 0.5% over 3 years. Their latest proposed wage increases total still much less than 1% of NYCB’s total budget and fail to reflect NYC’s soaring cost of living.
Artists pay shouldn’t fall further behind every year. These workers simply asking for wages that reflect the reality of life in this city and that allow us to stay here and continue working.
As AGMA Artists of New York City Ballet prepare for future negotiations, they need our support!

Your support is crucial to ensure that New York City Ballet continues to be a world-class organization where the dedicated, talented artists who delight, amaze, and inspire audiences have the resources to sustain their careers.
