The AVERAGE Lincoln center STAGEHAND paid $290,000 salary and benefits!!

Those pesky masons make the rules and I'll bet those stagehands are "connected".

Some of that work is dangerous and the hours suck shit. Maybe not to the tune of $290K but rigging lights, etc. a couple hundred feet in the air is not something one would do for peanuts.

Gee, then all those guys who go out and fix electric lines that are downed by trees in sub zero temperatures ought to be getting paid $500,000 a year.

They don't get $100,000 a year. Surely the stage hands could work in their climate controlled facilities for a mere $100,000 a year.

true, those guys who climb on and repair cell phone towers make big bank too.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get those jobs?

Their job is to make things perfect for the greatest artists and audiences in the world.

That depends on whom you know. It's either impossible or doable depending on that criteria. Obviously the person needs to be skilled as well, but it's all about the buddy system.

It might be hard but it isn't $290,000 hard.

Maybe in the UK where a book costs $50 due to the value added tax that might be right, but here in the US it's an extraordinary amount of pay.

Like I said before, there are many linemen who risk their lives in horrible weather who don't get paid half what those prima donnas are pulling down. It's not their skill level that's creating those wages. It was a strike that sent shivers down the spines of the theatre owners.

a real poor man.

Thats an incredible wage for the work. Masons like that Lincoln name.

They are making money for the theatre by prepping to make sure the show is perfect.
People pay large dollars to go see those shows.
I was at a concert at the Beacon Theatre in NYC recently.
The performers have a strict curfew because if the show goes past a certain time, the performers pay time and a half to the stage crew and stagehands.
Same union.
