There is a total congestion in the negotiations between the musicians and the management of the Minnesota Orchestra. According to the musicians’ association, « the board and management of the Minnesota Orchestra has abandoned the mediation process and the mediator they themselves selected. They have presented an offer to the Musicians which appears to be virtually identical to an offer that the Musicians unanimously rejected earlier in August, an offer that was made outside of the mediation process put in place by Governor Mark Dayton. » The musicians have been invited to vote on this new old offer until the 9th of September, but they say that there is no need for that, the offer having been already rejected. So, what now?
