(New York, NY) -- Nearly all of Broadway may turn off the lights today. The union representing some 12-hundred Broadway musicians had said those musicians would walk off the job this morning without a new contract, which had not been agreed upon as of late Wednesday. The musicians want better pay, better health care benefits and job security. A federal mediator was brought in Wednesday to try and help broker a deal between the union and the Broadway League but appears to have not been able to settle the issues so far.
