From NYTIMES:
"...City Opera said the unions had “refused to budge” from their position despite the offer of hundreds of thousands of dollars more in compensation, and the unions said City Opera had rejected a final wage concession by the workers. City Opera said it had no choice but to lock them out since the unions had promised to strike when performances begin, so it could not pay for rehearsals."
We say: What about the people? We get hurt the most! We are getting deprived out of good quality opera in the city!
