The news comes months after dancers organized to negotiate with the company’s management.

Dallas Black Dance Theatre terminated its entire company of dancers Friday, according to a statement posted on social media by the labor union representing the dancers. A national organizer for the union confirmed Saturday that nine dancers were impacted.

A statement jointly posted on Instagram by the American Guild of Musical Artists and an account run by DBDT dancers responded to the company’s actions: “AGMA is aware that Dallas Black Dance Theatre (DBDT) leadership just terminated all their dancers, and we are appalled. This abrupt and shocking development is the latest in a series of actions the Company has taken since the dancers voted unanimously to unionize.

    I live in an at-will state (IL). And it’s such fucking bullshit. I didn’t even know why it’s a law here.

      As I_Has_A_Hat pointed out, it’s the law almost everywhere in the USA (Montana is the only exception). But yes it is fucking bullshit. It’s a law because corporations are more people than people.
