The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is on strike and they have been for several months.  What’s the issue?  More money.

The strike has been on long enough that this seasons performances have been canceled.  So, the city of Detroit has no reason to settle the strike this season.  And, next seasons performances are uncertain.

Unfortunately, this is the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and not the New York Philharmonic. So, I doubt that its’ patrons will miss it.  If the people from Detroit want music, that can always attend programs at the local universities.

I guess the musicians have been so isolated in their own little world that they don’t know what is going on in the rest of the world.  And, they probably don’t understand that Detroit has money problems.

I wonder which pays more, unemployment or their symphony paycheck?
