| They would be ok with it but that misses the point. The union agreed to a procedure for reducing the number below the minimum. It is a procedure that has been used a number of times. That procedure, of which the producer and GM were well aware, is ordinarily put in motion as soon as the theatre is secured, and involves a committee (made up of both sides plus quite esteemed neutrals) that is tasked to determine an appropriate number of musicians in the circumstances. Here, that procedure was NOT initiated on a timely basis for reasons that are not clear but appear to be somewhat delusional on the production's part. Based on what is being reported, the process is clearly not going to be completed in time. If not, will 802 picket? (I would think yes.) Will anyone cross the picket line? (I would think no.) If that's the case then, considering what they have spent already, I suspect they will be forced to cough up the contract minimum, which they undoubtedly cannot afford. Another unnecessary mess. | |
