Dallas Black Dance Theatre terminated its entire company of dancers Friday, according to a statement posted on social media by the labor union representing the dancers. A national organizer for the union confirmed Saturday that nine dancers were impacted.
A statement jointly posted on Instagram by the American Guild of Musical Artists and an account run by DBDT dancers responded to the company’s actions: “AGMA is aware that Dallas Black Dance Theatre (DBDT) leadership just terminated all their dancers, and we are appalled. This abrupt and shocking development is the latest in a series of actions the Company has taken since the dancers voted unanimously to unionize.
In places like Texas they used to hang people for unionizing. So I guess this is progress.
In places like Texas, we used to have a way to effectively deal with these greedy parasite capitalists who busted unions.
Now the grandchildren of those fighters get down on their knees and lick the boots that crush them, begging for more.
Fucking pathetic, Southerners.
