‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎uh, on our planet there's this children's story, no one really knows where it came from but people 'ave been tellin' it for hundreds of years.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's about this man, a sort of‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎time traveler, i guess, and this wolf who follows him, warning him of his future.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎so‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she's still fiddling with things in their living space, and for a moment she feels disrespectful, so she pauses,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎d'ya want tea?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i can make tea, i'm sure my mum is absolutely talking your friend's ear off.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎what'did ya' call him, master?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎anyway‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she'll be talking to 'im for a while.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i can make tea.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i'm sorry, do i hear myself?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎her brows raise, chin juts forward, and for a moment she realizes she's reminiscent of how she saw her mother as a child‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎––‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎how she would raise her voice both to her and to defend her, when she did something wrong and when someone tried to push just a little too far to get more out of the girl who had those weird dreams‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎her planets bad wolf.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎even though she can feel it, she won't conceal it, like a vice, like a right of passage, everyone slips into mirrors of their mothers at least once, at least once‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎was it not you who said you wanted me here in coruscant to help?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎this is me helping, this is me telling ya' what i'm seeing!‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎now, her voice raises, and she won't back down, not until she's sure she's believed once more:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i know him, in my visions when you first started bringing him to me, yeah?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i could see his time stretched out before me and it was‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it was blurry, i told y'that.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎remember?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎volume turns to sternness, assuredness, as brown eyes turn a golden hue of confidence, and something in her chest seems to growl.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎all this is is heartbreak.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a gift, so her mother used to call it, now she is assured is a curse.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎and now it's‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i was dreaming, last night, and i could feel it, it was him, anakin, his life i was feeling and that blurry picture i couldn't make out?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎shoulders roll forward, and her eyes lock onto his, the one person she told herself she could trust, the one person she has tried to not hurt in the same way he has granted to her such kindness.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎yet, she can feel it‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎not through the force, not through the golden beams that sit in her head, stretching through each person's sense of time‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎),‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the hurt she's about to cause, the confusion, and worse, the fear of abandonment that she's settling within herself, deep in her stomach.‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it burned.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i dunno what it means, i don't know what all this shit means most of the time but‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎––‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎her hands flail up, a white flag, a sense of helplessness washing over her before she goes on,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i woke up screaming‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i'm worried for him.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a pause, her lips quiver but she bites down to keep that buried‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎––‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎if abandonment is near, she will not go down like she has before.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i'm worried for you, for all of us.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜

I wrote an 11 page paper about the problems with unions, Part 5: ...Maybe the opera is worse.

Because this was a paper for law, I wrote a very lengthy footnote about how I am a member of the union, blah, blah, blah and it is in my interest to provide more artists with control and no one asked for an NDA. I feel this will suffice here.

The fact that nothing changed for the auxiliary choristers until the next negotiation period makes sense, in terms of the conclusion that the NLRB came to – simply that they be included in collective bargaining. If the organization is following the prescribed negotiation schedule, there is no recourse for the auxiliary choristers to negotiate the terms of their agreement until the next bargaining period.

This could be a huge loophole in the union system. The difference between the stipend received under the initial contract and the set hourly pay put into place in the most recent negotiations is significant. The current negotiations provide a per performance fee for every chorister, with every non-regular chorister being paid the same amount, with the exception of bit parts. That could be a difference of thousands of dollars for a former auxiliary chorister. The regular choristers must only commit to 50% of the season, but are paid at twice the rate that non-regular choristers are paid.

The question remains as to whether identical duties and identical billing makes this negotiation fair or not. Every local union member votes to ratify a new contract, so the percentage of the voting body that were considered auxiliary members and were deciding their own fate was likely less than 10%. There is still no space in the system for these singers to sit down at the table and decide their own fate unless they took it upon themselves, personally, to campaign to other members. It’s not clear whether this is allowable.

The huge difference in fees that the supplementary choristers are receiving now, from what they were receiving as auxiliary choristers indicates the flaw in the argument that they did not have a stake or “community interest” in the company at a level that necessitates union involvement. It’s easy to see why, from the perspective of an artist and a union, anyone getting paid has an interest in collective bargaining. While these artists got very little say in their own fates, they did have success as members of the union that they might not have had alone. Ultimately, a balance has to be reached wherein artists have more leeway to ensure their own success and fair employment. However, it seems clear that, unless huge changes are made within the performing arts community, that balance will need to be reached within the union structure in order to ensure continued protection for artists.
