New World Symphony Members Record "Dark" Date
Members of the NWS were recently hired to do a "dark" date at Criteria Studios. This was not a date booked by NWS management; consequently it doesn’t fall under our "fence" agreement which restricts the orchestras’ incursions into professional areas of employment. The film composer is a friend of one of the members of the orchestra who then contracted the date using primarily NWS players for $30.00 an hour (instead of c.$85). Unfortunately, some members of Local 655 decided to play the date. This cannot and will not be tolerated in the future.
