Members of Local 58 American Federation of Musicians in Fort Wayne Indiana ON STRIKE 12/2022. In this episode we hear from the chair of the Local 58 AFM as to why they are on Strike. We review the past actions of the FW Phil management and their Anti Worker tactics to reduce the size of the Orchestra and wages in NE Indiana. This fight is just heating up. The FW Phil cancels Holiday Pops on 12/9 & 12/10/2022. The AFM Local 58 Musicians play for Free in Plymouth Congregational Church to a Standing Room Only Crowd on 12/10/2022.
