The problem was that they did zero bargaining, pay kept getting cut until it wasn't paying enough to be worth doing anymore. They filled chapter 7, it's done.

You can see something similar with the "worker shortage". People don't want to do many jobs for what they're willing to pay. If workers had more leverage in bargaining, pay and benefits could rise to be worth doing.
- qeternity 4y agoSince they filed Chapter 7 I’m not sure what bargaining you seem to think they were in a position to do? It just sounds as though the symphony isn’t economically viable anymore.
- mushbino 4y agoThey weren't in a position to bargain since they'd already accepted repeated cuts and it's hard for a symphony to stay solvent when it doesn't have any musicians. It looks like the musicians have started performing on their own. I hope that works out for them.
