More Anti-Union Rhetoric from the League of American Orchestras
By Pete Vriesenga
The League of American Orchestras (LAO), formerly known as the American Symphony Orchestra League (ASOL) has ramped-up their anti-collective bargaining rhetoric lately. LAO’s latest publication: Fearless Journeys: Innovation in Five American Orchestras is yet another in a string of “new model” discussions that champion this message. The book claims to provide “hard evidence” through a small sample study that orchestras can become more “sustainable” by taking risks and modifying their collective bargaining agreements. Of course there is no mention of the established alternative, which is hundreds of amateur orchestras with no collective bargaining agreements that wander aimlessly to the public trough only to pay their administrators.
