Symphony officials ratify contract with musicians
Thursday, February 1, 2007
Colorado Symphony officials today announced the ratification of a three-year contract with the musicians of the orchestra. The deal marks the first multi-year agreement since a five-year contract expired in 2003; single-year extensions had been approved since then.
The new contract, which runs through the 2008-09 season, calls for
pay increases of 6 percent, 3 percent and 3 percent respectively during
the three-year period. Health benefits issues were also addressed,
according to musicians' representative Bil Jackson. "In the 25 years
that I have been involved with this orchestra, I have never felt so
positive about our situation," he said in a statement.
