Someone just posted on Facebook that the Atlanta Symphony in GA, a full time orchestra, has just been locked out even though the musicians offered to take many cuts in salary and length of season. Has anyone else heard about this?

From the article:

"According to the release on Aug. 31, six days after their contract expired, the musicians thought they were negotiating with good faith with the ASO, only to find out that the WAC cancelled their health, dental, and disability insurance policies. The musicians also claim that that access cards they use to get into Symphony Hall and the parking decks have been deactivated and that extra security has been hired to keep them out."
