Labour dispute at San Francisco Symphony threatens China tour

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A labors dispute at the San Francisco Symphony threatens to derail a planned tour of China next month if both sides cannot agree on a new contract.

At issue are pensions and seniority pay. Union members say offers by the management would put San Francisco near the bottom among the top seven orchestras in the U.S., which include Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago and Los Angeles.

"The contract is not competitive with the rest of the industry in these areas," said violist David Gaudry, chairman of the musicians' negotiating committee.

We believe we'll be starting the new contract in a competitive posture, and we are dedicated to making sure that that competitive posture remains.

The union negotiating committee has recommended that the musicians refuse to embark on the high-profile tour to Hong Kong and Shanghai, scheduled for mid-February, unless an agreement is reached.
