Musicians have authorized a strike against the Philadelphia Orchestra if a deal can't be reached for a new contract that expires on September 10th.
Musicians authorized a strike against the Philadelphia Orchestra if bargaining breaks down for an agreement to replace the four-year deal that expires on Sept. 10.
"What has been offered right now ensures we will remain dead last among our peers in the premiere orchestras in the country," added musician Holly Blake. "We are disappointed in the decision by AFM Local 77 and the musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra to authorize a strike," management said in a statement. "We will continue to negotiate in good faith towards a fiscally responsible agreement that ensures the musicians' economic and artistic future."
