Preemptively Cancelling concerts | September 22, 2014

Preemptively Cancelling Concerts
So you want to cancel the concerts, and keep the cash, too? Really? Do I have to explain how embarrassingly inappropriate this is?

Well, the die is cast. By preemptively cancelling its first few months of programming, the ASO has removed any incentive for the musicians to negotiate in the short-term. From my perspective, the ASO has also alienated and tried to shake down its ticket-buyers. Coupled with its tone-deaf public relations campaign of the last two weeks, and I have to say I’m astonished… and not in a good way.

My short answer to Romanstein is that I don’t believe you regret this plan of action at all. Instead of a last resort, this feels like this is a first resort for you—a clearly defined “starve-them-out” strategy to break the union as swiftly as possible, regardless of the collateral damage.
