American Idol Drama
There’s more American Idol drama around even after the show is out for the season. A musicians union has filed a federal lawsuit against the producers of the show claiming that musicians were underpaid because the show’s live music was re-recorded for reruns. The lawsuit claims that the contract for the musicians working for the show says that they should be paid royalties for the rebroadcasts. The producers are required to pay 75% to musicians who appear in the original show and rehearsals as well as 10% of that pay to a union pension fund with decreasing percentages for each rebroadcast but it has not been done. The show is making tons of money, why are they trying to be cheap?
