  • The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia 4-RC-21019 6-9-05
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD REGION FOUR CONCERTO SOLOISTS d/b/a THE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA OF PHILADELPHIA1 Employer and Case 4–RC–21019 PHILADELPHIA MUSICIANS’ UNION LOCAL 77, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF MUSICIANS, AFL-CIO2 Petitioner REGIONAL DIRECTOR’S DECISION AND DIRECTION OF ELECTION The Employer, The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, is a small, elite orchestra which performs at concerts and other engagements. The Petitioner, Philadelphia Musicians’ Union Local 77, has filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board under Section 9(c) of the National Labor Relations Act seeking to represent a unit of the Musicians who perform in the Chamber Orchestra. There are about 33 Musicians in the petitioned-for unit. The Employer contends that the Musicians are independent contractors and thus are excluded from the coverage of the Act. A hearing officer of the Board held a hearing, and the parties filed briefs. I have considered the evidence and the arguments presented by the parties, and as discussed below, I have concluded that the Musicians are statutory employees. Accordingly, I am directing an election in a bargaining unit of the Employer’s Musicians.3 To provide a context for my discussion, I will first present a brief overview of the Employer’s operations. Then, I will review the factors that must be evaluated in determining independent contractor status and present in detail the facts and reasoning that support my conclusion that the Musicians are statutory employees. 1 The Employer’s name was amended at the hearing. 2 The Petitioner’s name was amended at the hearing.

It emerged as a pilot project of The Ghetto Arts Program, a program funded by the New York state Council on the Arts. Carroll established the UAC in response to a request from John B. Hightower, the executive director of the council. The initial members of the UAC were black and Puerto Rican students aged 17 through 22, from New York City pUblic schools and youth agencies. The objectives set forth by those creating the UAC were to: share their professional training; provide youth in ghetto areas with direct collaborative experiences with performing artists who shared their social and or cultural heritage; aid in the development of work techniques; introduce ghetto youth to materials, organizations, and artists that would enhance and improve their self image; stimulate and aid in the development of young artists in disadvantaged areas; and stimulate interest in professional and educational opportunities in the arts.

    Press Contact: Canary Promotion, 215.690.4065 Megan Wendell, [email protected] Rose Mineo, [email protected] Online Press Room: www.canarypromo.com/BrindSchool For Immediate Release Tony Award-Nominated Actor and UArts Faculty Member Forrest McClendon Stars in Big River at Arts Bank Theater Feb. 23–25 PHILADELPHIA (Jan. 5, 2012) – Students from the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts at The University of the Arts will share the stage with special guest star Forrest McClendon – a 2011 Tony ® Award nominee and Barrymore Award winner – in a concert performance of Big River. This production will be on stage for one weekend only with three performances from February 23—25, 2012 at the University’s Arts Bank Theater. Big River is adapted from Mark Twain’s classic novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, with music and lyrics by Roger Williams and book by William Hauptman. In Big River, McClendon plays runaway slave Jim, opposite UArts student Adam Hoyak ’13 (Musical Theater) as Huck Finn. McClendon has been an adjunct professor in the Brind School for 15 years and has played the role of Jim twice before at Surflight Theatre and Mount Gretna Playhouse. He debuted on Broadway with a 2011 Tony ® Award-nominated performance as Mr. Tambo in The Scottsboro Boys and is currently recreating the role in a Philadelphia Theatre Company production (Jan. 20 – Feb. 19). Big River follows the journey of Twain’s unforgettable characters Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer and Jim as they discover friendship and freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Set to an award-winning bluegrass and country music score, this concert presentation is a collaborative production featuring the students and faculty of the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts.
