Strike ballot called at Welsh National Opera

Strike ballot called at Welsh National Opera

The Musicians Union is balloting orchestra and chorus members over 15 percent pay cuts and job losses.

The cuts were enforced by policy decisions of Arts Cancel England (ACE) and its Welsh satrap, ACW.

An MU offiical said: ‘The WNO Orchestra is one of only two full-time professional orchestras in Wales. Reducing that provision would have a negative effect on the WNO’s artistic standards, Cardiff’s status as a hub for professional music, and cultural provision across Wales and large parts of England.’

The post Strike ballot called at Welsh National Opera appeared first on Slippedisc.
