It is true that some orchestras have temperature clauses in their contracts, but it is not always the larger orchestras that have them, and when such clauses exist it is not for primarily purposes of pitch, it is for comfort and safety of instruments. One orchestra I used to play in had a lower limit of 63F, which is about 17C, and an upper limit of 95F, or 35C. Dealing with temperature is just part of the deal -- when it's cold it's hard to get up to pitch, when it's hot it's hard to get down to pitch.
