Drabinsky v. Actors’ Equity Association
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
106 F.4th 206 (2024)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Garth Drabinsky (plaintiff) was the producer of Paradise Square, a Broadway musical. Cast members complained to their union, Actors’ Equity Association (Equity) (defendant), about unpaid wages, safety concerns, and racial insensitivity on set. In response, Equity placed Drabinsky on its “Do Not Work” list, which effectively amounted to a boycott of Drabinsky. Drabinsky sued Equity, alleging that the boycott amounted to an antitrust violation under the Sherman Antitrust Act. The district court dismissed the complaint, holding that Equity’s conduct was exempt from antitrust laws. Drabinsky appealed.
