Steven Spielberg's adaptation of West Side Story-in theaters now-features actress Rita Moreno, who played Anita in the original 1961 film. Hear her discuss the original with Studs Terkel in 1962. studsterkel.wfmt.com/program…

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson made $14,665,575 last year. Average pay for Starbucks workers is $14 per hour, or $28,000 a year.
Congratulations to @SBWorkersUnited on your union vote. You deserve a raise.

We are fighting to ensure that the most powerful media corporations on the planet treat the film and tv workers who produce their content with basic human dignity.
RT if you stand with us in this fight.

It was invigorating to sit in front of the @AFLCIO and watch a show that lifts up the average working person via monologues from Studs Terkel’s book, “Working.” This wonderful musical @WorkingDc is just the right dose of songs, solidarity & collective effervescence that we need.

“As one character says during the show: “History is a hell of a lot of little people getting together and deciding they want a better life.” The entire entertaining evening was a vivid dramatization of that point. DON’T MISS IT.” - @dcmetrotheaterarts
