419,000 — you gotta be kidding
I’m obviously in the wrong line of work...
I am in the wrong job.
I PLAY the instruments, not just move them around.
OK...where can I go to stagehand school?
On graduation I’d be willing to start at 200,000 for the first year...
I took production workshop in college for the badly needed four hours of A. Does that qualify for an entry level job?
The strike was not about pay, it was about the union wanting to “own” the jobs in a new education wing that was built.
The compromise was that one new union job will be created for that wing. And the teachers and music students will be allowed to move their own chairs and music stands. The union guy will move anything heavy enough to require assistance.
Which implies that if you were a performer in an orchestra, and you wanted your music stand a foot over from where it was, you are supposed to call the union guy to do it, you are not allowed to move your chairs or music stands.
Clearly, the union is ripping off the patrons and the taxpayer. Even the non-union employees seem overpaid. Presumably, we, the taxpayers, can do something about us getting ripped off, in terms of NEA-type grants and in terms of the tax deductibility of contributions (one of the reasons I support a flat tax or a fair tax). But, if patrons, with their own money, want to indulge themselves, well, as they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.
This is a friggin joke, right? Please God , make this satire.
I have a friend whose daughter is involved with Manhattan choirs. The amount of money thrown around in those places is staggering.
Nice work if you can get it.
A friend of my brother attended a top tier university only to become a stagehand. Then I thought “crazy”, perhaps not so much now.
Carnegie Hall is a privately owned non-profit, right?
As far as I’m concerned they can pay their employees anything they want.
talk about a state and a city in need of “right to work” laws - New York is it
