Today is Day 5 of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Lock-Out, and the BSO musicians will be picketing at 7:30 am this morning and again at 11:30 am at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall at the corner of Cathedral and Preston Streets in Baltimore.
Negotiations are set for later today and we’ll keep you posted on our website – dclabor.org -- and on social media @dclabor of Twitter and Facebook, where we’ve also posted links on how to contribute to support the locked-out musicians. Former BSO Music Director David Zinman will be joining the picket line on Monday; we’ll have an update on Union City Radio then. On today’s labor calendar, the 40th annual Great Labor Arts Exchange is going on now out at the ATU’s Tommy Douglas Center in Silver Spring; and don’t miss their big “Songs of Resistance” free concert tomorrow night at 7:30; details at dclabor.org, click on Calendar. In today’s labor history, on this date in 1997, an estimated 100,000 unionists and other supporters marched in solidarity with striking Detroit News and Detroit Free Press newspaper workers. Today’s labor quote is by Abraham Lincoln, who said: “If a man tells you he loves America, yet he hates labor, he is a liar!” Union City Radio is supported by our friends at Union Plus.
