Union vs. Union At La Scala
La Scala's gala opening is being threatened by a strike for the second year in a row, as the union representing the famed opera house's choir and orchestra members balks at a new contract offer. But in a sign of how fractious such arrangements can be, all of La Scala's other unions have already agreed to the deal, and are protesting the musicians' union's holdout.
