Honolulu Symphony says no money left for payroll

The Honolulu Symphony revealed that they didn't have enough money to pay the payroll because of the significant fall in subscription and ticket sales. They already delayed two concerts this weekend. Some insiders said that the symphony's executive board discussed about filing for Chapter 11 bankrupsy organization.
The musicians' union filed a complaint with the federal labor board. They said that they found the pay of 25 part time musicians got reduced by as much as 50 percent without negotiating with the union.
I feel bad not only because they are failing to survive but also there is always lack of communication and understanding between the management and the musicians whenever organizations are financially struggling. All about the organization's mission is not a matter anymore. I can unstnderstand that's reality especially when it comes to the situation you have to fight for surviving, but why do we see all the same scenes of disagreeing each other from different organizations when they have fatal financial deficit.
