Here’s the latest – apparently there was a bit “of confusion” with regards to the DSO board’s response to the musicians’ proposal to resume playing while submitting to binding arbitration. Talks are continuing between both sides of the dispute as reported by Michael Hodges in The Detroit News:
“We continue to hold out the hand of friendship in hopes we can find a pathway to settlement,” said musicians’ spokesman Greg Bowens. “But our patience is not without end.”
Paul Hogle, DSO executive vice president, cautioned against imposing a countdown on the process or reading too much into how long it takes.
“The musicians’ attorney, Leonard Leibowitz, has been in regular exchanges with our negotiating attorney (Bernard Plum),” Hogle said. “When exchanges are going on with the attorneys, that’s a good thing. Serious matters should allow for serious exchange.”
