Detroit Symphony Orchestra Management, Musicians in Talks

Detroit Symphony Orchestra Management, Musicians in Talks - WSJ.com

The DSO's 85 musicians walked off the job in late September after negotiations broke down over a proposed contract calling for the salaries of veteran musicians to be cut by nearly a third while new players would start at 42% below the current base of $104,650.

Pension and health benefits also would be cut.

So us taxpayers are gonna chip in so rich folks can listed to rich folks play music?
