The Stones avert Teamsters threat

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A threat by the
Teamsters to shut down this weekend's Rolling
Stones concerts was averted when a major
promoter gave the union part of the action.

Bill Graham Presents announced the deal with
Teamsters Local 85 Wednesday after the union
picketed in front of Pac Bell Park, where the
Stones will play Friday and Saturday.

Teamsters complained the promoter, a
subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications,
wasn't using union workers to load and unload
trucks or unionized stagehands to set up the
stage and lights.

The promoter agreed to hire Teamsters to help
pack up the show Sunday.

Bill Graham Presents said it never has had a
relationship with the Teamsters and was
surprised by the protest, although the union
says it has been having trouble with San
Antonio-based Clear Channel for years.

Members of the stagehands' union refused to
cross the picket line, but the agreement was
reached in time to set up for the show without
any delay.

sandrew I wonder if we'll get a wry comment from Mick about this episode. Or maybe they'll do "Luxury." It's got a similar theme: make a million for the Texans, $20 me.
