(NEW YORK CITY) - The Orchestra of New York City Music Producer Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) - Members of American Federation of Musicians (AFM) Local 802, has reached a tentative five-year contract agreement after eight months on Strike and four years of bargaining.

Workers were fighting for the very essential rights that every Worker deserves - job security, health and retirement benefits, and fair wages.

The DCINY Orchestra overwhelmingly voted to Unionize With AFM Local 802 in 2019 in order to negotiate better working conditions and benefits.

Union Members were forced to go on Strike in February of this year.

Throughout their strike, they were joined on picket lines and at rallies by their fellow Entertainment Union Siblings and Members from a wide array of Unions from across New York City.

The Union said it will share more details on the tentative agreement soon.
