The Carnegie Hall stagehands timed their strike to inflict maximized impact on their bosses: The Hall's opening night. With discussions on a new contract in the works for "Some time," according to a statement by Carnegie Hall officials, the dispute centers around future operations of the Hall's new education wing, scheduled to open in fall 2014, and union jurisdiction within these facilities. The Hall's management did not want to "Divert significant funds away from the Hall's music education programs and into stagehand fees," according to the Los Angeles Times. As of now, Carnegie Hall says "All future performances remain on Carnegie Hall's schedule, pending resolution of this work stoppage." Up next at Carnegie? A performance by the American Symphony Orchestra on Thursday, with a giant pending attached to it.
