🧵To Our Fellow #SagAftraMembers:
It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. (1/11)

In white text: To Our Fellow SAG-AFTRA Members: It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. We have negotiated with them in good faith, despite the fact that last week they presented an offer that was, shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began. Across the bottom.

On Labor Day weekend, ICSOM urges you to support the Musicians of the New York City @BalletOrchestra by signing & sharing their petition. Despite a healthy $263 million endowment + $10 million in government support, musicians were not paid for over a year.

Solidarity in Saratoga! Great to see the Philadelphia Orchestra Musicians, Music Director Yannick Nezet-Seguin and pianist Bruce Liu take the stage in the POM's blue t-shirts for a performance of Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto! @POMusicians @philorch @nezetseguin @SaratogaPAC

Music directors usually don’t get involved in labor negotiations or make comments on disputes, but Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who tends to shy away from controversy, wore the same Local 77 shirt as his Philadelphia Orchestra musicians during a performance. trib.al/phmJrrm
Musicians are dressed #UnionStrong today sending a clear message to the Philadelphia Orchestra @philorch @kimmelCC that world class musicians deserve a fair contract. And we’re holding out till we get it. #FairPayFairPlay

"Rather than negotiate, David Byrne is trying to break the union. Broadway musicians are not ‘gatekeepers’ ...they are the best in the world and since 2020 have been severely hurt by the effects COVID had on Broadway." from Playbill bit.ly/3C8dp1o Say NO to canned music!
