Welsh National Opera staff are being balloted for industrial action over pay and conditions
Welsh National Opera

MUSICIANS in the Welsh National Opera are being balloted for industrial action in a dispute over pay and conditions.

Members of the Musicians Union will vote in the coming weeks on whether to launch a campaign of action over plans to make the orchestra part-time and cut pay by 15 per cent.

The union said cuts in funding from the Arts Council of Wales and Arts Council England have forced Welsh National Opera management to consider the changes.
