“To alleviate the [lockdown-induced budget] shortfall, orchestra musicians have amended their contract to take a 25% cut in base salary in the 2020-21 season and a 50% cut in overscale pay. … Previously, musicians had accepted a cut of 10% in May and then 20% in July. … The administrative staff is changing the status of 30% of its full-time staff — 25 people — through a reduction of hours, furloughs, layoffs and position elimination through attrition.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
