Changes in Seating and Title Clause Samples

Changes in Seating and Title. Both parties to this Agreement understand that from time to time seating and title changes will be necessary and/or advantageous for the artistic welfare of the Orchestra and its membership. The Employer's rights and responsibilities in this area are also understood by both parties to include recognition and respect for the morale of the Orchestra and its individual members in making such changes. For a particular Summer Season, string players may be required to move up in seating, but except for a Musician who will occupy a principal position, they will move up only according to their rank in the immediately preceding Winter Season. For split Orchestra, string players may be required to move up in seating, but they will move up only according to their rank as seated.
