Re: Musical chairs in orchestras

Depending on the cause of the firing I believe the union would not back the player if the reason was a substantial discipline problem, such as being intoxicated at a concert or even a rehearsal, especially if it happened more than once. Everyone in an orchestra relies on everyone else to be playing at the top of their game all the time. I remember one case in a western orchestra in the USA that a principal player was fired because he stole a case of fine wine from a board - orchestra dinner. Apparently the union went along with the firing because that player was indeed fired. I don't know if there were other discipline problems before that happened but that was apparently unacceptable. That person was lucky not to face criminal charges, at least I never heard they did. ESP
