| I have to stop and wonder a moment. I don't think it's really ethical for newspapers to print salaries like that. I can just hear the resentment now. I don't think Glenn Dicterow wants to have to answer questions about his salary or should have to face negative comments coming into a labor negotiation. These kinds of articles always seem to create mob mentality.
I agree with the overall tone; that is, string players have to take a second mortgage to pay for their instruments. Players' salaries go down while administrative positions go up. (I'm VERY familiar with THAT scenario, only with differing titles). But I think it goes too far when individual salaries become public information, and weakens the position of the bargaining unit during negotiations.
