San Francisco Symphony Chorus Goes on Strike
Briefly

The San Francisco Symphony's chorus went on strike due to management's failure to address financial issues while targeting the internationally acclaimed Choristers for cuts.
Ned Hanlon, president of the American Guild of Musical Artists, criticized management's repeated failures, urging them to return to negotiations to find an actual solution.
Matthew Spivey, the orchestra's chief executive, acknowledged the organization's financial struggles, citing deficits, a declining donor base, and the unsustainable subscription ticket model.
Despite a substantial endowment of approximately $315 million, the union claims management is implementing disproportionate cuts to the Chorus, questioning the sustainability of these decisions.
