9-7-15 Actors Strike & Boycott The Emmy’s in 2:00


http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/september-7-actors-strike-boycott-the-emmys/




September 7, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1980. The 32nd Annual Emmy Awards show took place despite 51 of the 52 nominated performers boycotting the event. At issue was a strike by members of the Screen Actors Guild. Powers Boothe was the only nominated actor to attend.

2:00 minute audio at link.

The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.

Please help make this happen.

Not sure if that was helpful or what it accomplished but Reagan was elected six weeks later. Hopefully something good occurred from it. The election certainly wasn't.
