The imposed contract alienates the musicians from the board and management creating an uncooperative and distrustful culture.

The management’s imposition of a regressive contract has led to low morale among the musicians.

We have lost prominent musicians in the past year to lateral moves.

These players left the RSO because of low morale and contractual uncertainty.

The imposed contract has caused a much lower turn out at RSO auditions over the last year.

Managements unwillingness to compromise leaves the musicians feeling powerless.

The RSO can’t move forward in a strategic way until all parties (orchestra, board, and management) come to a consensus on where we want the organization to go and agree to a contract that reflects that consensus.
