Musicians Receive Strike Fund Benefits
Members of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra will receive eight weeks of strike fund benefits, courtesy of the American Federation of Musicians Symphony-Opera Strike Fund.
The Florida Philharmonic Orchestra suspended operations and filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 9, leaving 81 musicians, as well as numerous staff personnel, unemployed. The AFM Strike Fund, which was created in 1970 and of which Florida Philharmonic musicians are participants, provides direct payments to musicians in the event of work stoppages such as strikes, lockouts, and bankruptcies.
