This is what was agreed upon at the final meeting last night by the special mediator, the Broadway Committee & the League:
"1. Article V Minimums
a. The minimums (including leader) are now as follows at the following theatres for ten years.
Broadway, Marquis, St.James, Minskoff, Ford Center, New Amsterdam - 19
Majestic, Gershwin, Palace, Lunt-Fontanne, Imperial, Shubert, Winter Garden - 18
Richard Rodgers, Neil Simon, Martin Beck - 14
Broadhurst, Virginia - 12
Barrymore, Music Box, and Plymouth - 9
Brooks Atkinson, Eugene O'Neill, Royale - 8
Longacre, Nederlander - 4

2. Article II.F. Just Cause
Effective after the eighth (8th) service, no musician shall be dismissed except for just cause.
3. Article XIII Sect. I Health and Safety
Language was added to include broader health standards, and financial onus is on the Employer/Producer
4. Article V.E Special Situations
The Executive Board is no longer the first step in the process. Requests go directly to the panel of neutrals yet to be listed.
Saturday Night Fever was removed from the provisionary list.
The memorandum will address this in more detail.
The term of this contract is four (4) years.
Wage increase is 11.5 % over the term of the contract in six (6) month increments. (2.75/yr)
(I believe it translates to $1385 now to $1500)
Please know that this is not a complete listing of the agreement, but rather points I found important. The memorandum will hopefully be in far more detail and will be available before the ratification meeting to be scheduled sometime this weekend."
