NEW YORK IS A UNION TOWN; HOUSTON, HOWEVER...

I am happy to note that artist solidarity in New York City recently resulted in a musician strike victory. New York has a strong tradition of labor unions and this sometimes results in economic justice. Contrast that with Houston:

"The last thing I really want to do is leave the Houston Symphony," said Ver Meulen, "but I can't remain in an orchestra where the board of directors is bent on turning it into a Triple-A farm club."

Texas is a "right to work" state. That actually means that Texas is a "screw the workers" state. Here in Houston, another musicians' strike is not going so well. Click here for economic injustice.
