Minnesota calls a strike
OrchestrasMusicians of the Minnesota Opera Orchestra have voted unanimously to authorise a strike, after working six months without a contract.
Wages are down by 40 percent and the company is unwilling to commit to the permanent size of the orchestra. At present there are 46 musicians, augmented as required by freelancers. They are currently in rehearsals for The Daughter of the Regiment, due to open this weekend.
