Springsteen Will Cross Picket Line for Cleveland Show

CLEVELAND — Bruce Springsteen will cross picket lines to perform Wednesday night in front of 65,000 fans in Cleveland Stadium, a Belkin Productions official said today.

Striking members of Local 85 of the Ushers, Ticket Takers, Doormen and Guards union are planning to set up picket lines at the stadium over a wage dispute.

There had been a question of whether “The Boss”--who is pro-organized labor--would honor the strike and cancel his performance.

Concert promoters, however, said they have received assurance from Springsteen representatives that he will perform.
