Mandy Patinkin speaks in solidarity and support of musicians on strike!
WOW! Thank you Mandy Patinkin for your words of solidarity and support for the DCINY Orchestra Musicians , who are on strike against #DCINY for a fair contract. Please sign the musicians' petition at https://actionnetwork.org/letters/dciny Mandy said: "This is what it’s all about. One union. Community. Supporting each other. This is the way it all gets done. There are no enemies: there is one family of humanity that has to be addressed to treat each other fairly and equitably, so that the arts can continue to feed the souls of human beings all over the world. We are here to support the DCINY Orchestra Musicians for their job security, health and pension benefits, fair wages and basic worker rights. I want to quote a far smarter human being than I’ll ever be, because he said it a long time ago. One of the founders of our country, Benjamin Franklin, said it best: 'The good that we can do together surpasses the good that we can do alone.' Let’s stick together! Thank you, thank you, thank you for ALL unions!” AFM - American Federation of Musicians New York City Central Labor Council
