Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Don, was that 'devastating?' Really?— April 9, 2014 4:58 p.m.
Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Don, I just re-read the article, and your post. You claimed the Unions were making 'devastating threats,' not 'devastating charges.' I can't find any such threats in the article, nor, in fact, do I see any devastating charges, unless you think bedbugs are devastating.— April 8, 2014 10:11 p.m.
Opera: Campbells could get up to $3 million more
Don, you're making a serious charge, with no proof. The Unions in NY have not made any "devastating threats." It is the Met Opera that is making the threats. The Unions have been told that if they don't accept the 16% pay cuts, they will be locked out. The Unions have been informed that the Met was amassing a $10 million war chest to allow them to lock out their employees. Some of the Unions signed contracts with 0% pay increases in the recent past, and are now being asked for more. The Unions have suggested that the Opera work in a more efficient manner within the work rules. It was the Opera that required the employees to come in for Sunday rehearsals, not the Unions. It's the Opera requiring the chorus members to work 12 hour days. As for cost of living, how does living in the San Diego suburbs compare with "parts of New Jersey?" Please don't compare apples and oranges.— April 8, 2014 3 p.m.
