full title....................Participation is voluntary and there's a waitlist: Rockettes hit back at dancer who says she will perform at Trump's inauguration with tears in her eyes....................The famed Radio City Hall Rockettes will not be forced to participate in the group's planned performance next month in Washington DC for Donald Trump's election.
The American Guild of Variety Artists, the union which is meant to protect the girls, said that any plans for the women to refuse to perform at the show are invalid.
'Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace,' said the union in a letter obtained by Broadway World.
It closed out by saying: 'If you are not full time, you do not have to sign up to do this work. If you are full time, you are obligated.
'Doing the best performance to reflect an American Institution which has been here for over 90 years is your job. I hope this pulls into focus the bottom line on this work.'
Soon after this however Madison Square Garden Company said in a statement that all Rockettes need to sign up in order to be considered for an event and that there was already a wait list due to the number of women interested,m so no one would be performing against their will.

Yes they did. Very pleasant surprise. Actually their show in NYC makes is money from tourists, a lot from flyover country. It isn’t smart pissing off people who are outside the metro sexual bubble.
I don't know where you got that from, it was a clear message to the snowflake who tweeted that if she doesn't like it, she can keep her precious butt home. She can and WILL be replaced by someone who enjoys their job over politics...........
“Since Trump was elected along patriotic lines why not have a patriotic themed inaugural. Military bands, orchestras etc...”
That’s a great idea. Besides the bands and choruses, there are many talented individuals in the military who never had a chance, or never got a break, in the entertainment industry.
I had to read it twice to make sure I was reading it right. There's hope for the world.
No. You didn’t read it wrong. That’s exactly what it says.
If you are working full time. You are obligated to perform.
Funny stuff. If it existed, I know 2 libs I send some to.
Good for them........now how about the NFL following suit?
‘Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace,’
THAT! is what should have been said to that guy in the NFL!
That was my thought too! Pretty Texas girls!
Wouldn't it be great to hear something like this from the NFL?
The Rockettes are an archaic type of entertainment. Well past its shelf life.
They better do what they do while there are still people willing to buy tickets, because in another ten years that could be no one.
Soon after this however Madison Square Garden Company said in a statement that all Rockettes need to sign up in order to be considered for an event and that there was already a wait list due to the number of women interested, so no one would be performing against their will.
Entertainers are not the highest intellects among professions.
But the arrogance amazes me. What is indispensable about dancers?
I hope they enjoy their self imposed permanent unemployment!
As usual the left just lies and lies
This is truly pathetic. As it is ... thus far what do we have ... the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Rockettes? Beach Boys - maybe? Good grief. We need some kick ass bands to play. Hopefully some of these acts will come to their senses.
And not a single PC whining snowflake among them!
What a great idea! Texas has gorgeous ladies!
Says the list is full already of folks wanting to go.
Trump is the master of entertainment.
****************
Money talks. The ceremonies will be just fine.
LOL, yep, money talks...
The juveniles in the media will be setting themselves up for one embarassment after the next. They don’t get it, they’re trying to attack a guy that is a master of negotiation and business. Even better, he surrounds himself with the smartest people in the world.
Snot nosed leftists with a pen have not a chance against the DJT years, make your time...
