Given how prominent this concession was in initial musician communication, its conspicuous absence in their settlement statement indicates LOC managed to secure this concession. Outcome: neither stakeholder has commented on the fate of the radio broadcasts. LOC demanded eliminating all radio broadcasts.Multiple requests to LOC’s press representative for details on this term have gone unanswered. As such, the conditions for qualifying which positions can and can’t be cut is a key element for understanding the overall impact on artistic quality. For example, and this is merely an academic exercise, if the concertmaster decided to retire it highly unlikely LOC would eliminate that position via attrition. Other than the four positions will be eliminated via attrition, nothing is known about the process or conditions under which these cuts will unfold. Outcome: the number of salaried musicians will be reduced to 70. LOC demanded reducing the number of salaried musicians from 74 to 69.Outcome: the season was reduced to 22 weeks. LOC demanded a reduction in season from 24 to 22 weeks.Here’s a list of terms provided by the musicians when the strike was announced and where things ended up by the final agreement: While LOC’s statement failed to reference any terms, the musicians’ release covered a few highlights and based on that information, it seems clear the musicians conceded to most of the employer’s demands. Instead of the customary joint press statement announcing the news, each stakeholder released their own notice. On Sunday, the Lyric Opera of Chicago (LOC) and its musicians ended a week-long strike with a new three-year agreement.
