$2 Million a Day, Down the Tubes

Broadway stagehands are now in week two of their strike, and it will
likely continue over Thanksgiving weekend, one of the most profitable
theater weekends of the season. The city comptroller estimates that
economic losses resulting from the strike come to about $2 million per
day. This whole situation seems ridiculous to me--obviously no one is
benefiting from a strike, so why are these people not negotiating with
eachother? Doesn't anyone have a BATNA :-)
