Houston musicians get 4% raise
mainThe Houston Symphony Orchestra has signed three-year contract with its musicians, guaranteeing a 4 per-cent raise next season. The current season musicians’ base salary is $97,940 per year.
The deal also gives parents of a new baby an extra two weeks of sick leave during the first six months.
This could be a trendsetter. (Did someone say Baltimore?)

I believe the proper term is “maternity leave.”
Hopefully people won’t be sick of their kid that quickly …
“Maternity leave”. Unless…the father takes time-off to be with the child.
