A Disgusting New Low | September 15, 2014
You know, over the course of the Minnesota Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera labor disputes, I’ve seen a lot of ugly things. Managements in both the disputes resorted to hard-ball tactics and inflammatory rhetoric as part of a deliberate ploy to demonize the musicians and other workers. Again and again, these arts “leaders” denigrated the very art forms that their respective organizations were built to celebrate. Sadly, such things are often par for the course in a labor dispute, especially when the stakes are high.
But nothing could prepare me for the low blow the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra inflicted today. They went after their youngest supporters.
