The musicians of the orchestra has authorized a strike if they can't reach a contract with the NYC Ballet. Lucy Yang has the details.But before the curtain went up, musicians held a rally outside of Lincoln Center, as their contract negotiations remain ongoing.
According to the union, the musicians are making 9% less today than they did in 2019, before COVID struck. "Now the company is doing great, finances better than ever, but we're not seeing any of it," said Ethan Silverman, who's a bassoon player. "Offers at the bargaining table are very bad to say the least."
However, management has stated the following: "The proposal that NYCB has currently offered the musicians restores that 9.3% and also includes increases and bonuses that would raise that in total more than 17% over their current compensation in the first year."DeRosa is now principal oboist. It took a lifetime of practice and passion for all 67 members of the orchestra to win their coveted seats.
The two sides meet again in more than a week. Will audiences get to see the Nutcracker this Christmas?
