"They entered the negotiating room in the Chicago Symphony Association's lawyer's office at 2 p.m. Monday, and by about 6:45 p.m. a tentative agreement had been reached in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first musicians strike in 21 years."...The strike became the latest in a series of labor disputes among big-city American orchestras. The tumultuous six-month Detroit Symphony Orchestra strike ended in April 2011 with the musicians accepting a reported 25 percent pay cut. The Philadelphia Orchestra, where Muti was music director from 1980 to 1992, emerged from bankruptcy protection in July and still faces formidable challenges."The orchestra announced shortly before 8 p.m. that the CSO musicians and management had reached an accord for a three-year collective bargaining agreement, to take effect retroactively on Sept. 17. The previous contract expired Sept. 16.

"Members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra have been locked out since Aug. 25, and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra musicians have been locked out since Sept. 8 amid management proposals of large salary and benefits cuts. The Minneapolis-St. Paul-based Star Tribune reported that the Minnesota Orchestra's musicians and management were meeting with a federal mediator Monday, six days before the union's contract was set to expire, with management initially proposing to slash musicians' average salaries from $135,000 to $89,000."
