enemy camp" if I'm called to, but I'll donate the earned wages to a<br>
politcal or social movement I believe in. For example, all the money I<br>
earned for the very few Trump rallies I worked this past fall was<br>
donated to Planned Parenthood and the Southern Poverty Law Center.<br>
<br>
I have an obligation to work an event under contract in a venue that<br>
my Local holds a CBA with, as the venue is the employer, not the<br>
visiting client. But what I do with the money I earn is up to me.<br>
