Two musicians, Matthew Muckey and Liang Wang, fired by the New York Philharmonic, have filed amended complaints alleging wrongful dismissal due to a biased inquiry. This follows a history of attempts to terminate them for misconduct dating back to 2018. Their lawsuits argue that the investigation process was arbitrary and lacked impartiality. Previous claims of misconduct led to their initial reinstatement by union arbitration. As they pursue legal action, the Philharmonic has refrained from commenting, although it maintains that credible evidence against both musicians was found.
Mr. Muckey's complaint said the Philharmonic and the union had engaged in a sham process calculated to achieve a predetermined finding of wrongdoing.
Mr. Wang's lawsuit said the inquiry was neither impartial nor open-ended.
