SSO, Local 171 Announce Two-year Labor Agreement

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Symphony Orchestra (SSO) and Local 171 of the American Federation of Musicians jointly announced they have reached a new two-year collective bargaining agreement. The new contract starts in the upcoming 2025-26 season and extends through the 2026-27 season. The new agreement contains a minimum of eight symphonic concerts and an education concert for the upcoming two concert seasons. The agreement also includes the addition of a second musician seat on the SSO board, which will expand from 15 to 17 seats, and wage increases for musicians over each of the two years. The agreement also calls for an average of 64 contracted musicians, remaining the same from the previous two-year agreement. This new agreement gives the Springfield Symphony Orchestra greater flexibility to design seasons that both honor tradition and embrace innovation. Starting with the 2025-26 season, the SSO will present a minimum of four classical concerts each year, down from six in previous seasons. This change allows room to explore new formats and creative programming. In addition, the season will feature two pops concerts and two hybrid performances that blend classical repertoire with popular music to engage broader and more diverse audiences. In the past two seasons, the SSO has made efforts to diversify its musical offerings and brought talent from around the world in the form of both guest conductors and guest artists to Springfield Symphony Hall. The concert seasons have featured Latin jazz ensemble the Mambo Kings, Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, annual MLK Jr. celebration concerts, Fearless Women Awards honoring local women leaders in the community, Juneteenth concerts at no cost to the community, and more. In the 2024-25 season, internationally acclaimed conductor Mei-Ann Chen joined the SSO as artistic advisor, helping to curate programs, select guest soloists, and facilitate other artistic needs.

UMass System Generates $8.3 Billion in Economic Activity

AMHERST — The five-campus University of Massachusetts system generated a record $8.3 billion in economic activity and supported nearly 40,000 external jobs across Massachusetts, according to a new Donahue Institute report. The analysis found that the economic impact generated by the five-campus UMass system translates into a 9-to-1 return on the state investment in the university. According to the report, each of the five university campuses generated a significant economic impact for its region and the state. The major drivers of economic impact are student, faculty, and staff spending; construction projects; and the university’s purchase of goods and services required for university operations. Besides the spending captured in the economic-impact formula, the report highlights several other UMass contributions to the Massachusetts economy. For example, more than 330,000 of the university’s alumni live in Massachusetts, contributing skills and knowledge to the economy, purchasing goods and services from Massachusetts businesses, and paying local and state taxes. Each year, the university’s five campuses award approximately 20,000 undergraduate and graduate degrees, and nearly three-quarters of its undergraduates are working in Massachusetts five years after graduation. Furthermore, the university’s five campuses house more than 90 core research facilities that are made available to small and medium-sized Massachusetts companies to accelerate their job-creating research and development activity; users of the core facilities make a $364 million contribution to the Massachusetts’ economy, beyond the $8.3 billion cited in the report. The university’s $813 million research enterprise — the third-largest behind Harvard and MIT in Massachusetts — results in patents and technology licensing that creates jobs in established companies and forms the basis for startup companies. In FY 2022, UMass inventions generated $41 million in licensing revenue for the university and 242 patent applications. Finally, UMass campuses attract thousands of people for campus tours, conferences, performances, and sporting events, generating significant economic benefits through spending for transportation, restaurants, lodging, cultural attractions, and retail shops.

Wolnik passed away on Sept. 20, 2022 at the age of 76. He was born and raised in Indian Orchard, where he attended a local high school before graduating from Harvard University in 1969. Wolnik then studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a systems programming consultant for labs at several hospitals in the Boston area and spent a significant portion of time researching and managing his investments. He lived in Newton before moving to Amherst in 2000, where he was active in local politics and enjoyed gardening.

Healthcare Heroes Nominations

Through June 24: In the spring of 2017, the Healthcare News and its sister publication, BusinessWest, created a new and exciting recognition program called Healthcare Heroes. It was launched with the theory that there are heroes working all across this region’s wide, deep, and all-important healthcare sector, and that there was no shortage of fascinating stories to tell and individuals and groups to honor. That theory has certainly been validated. But there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of heroes whose stories we still need to tell, especially in these times, when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many types of heroes to the forefront. Nominations will be accepted in seven different categories: Patient/Resident/Client Care Provider, Health/Wellness Administrator/Administration, Emerging Leader, Community Health, Innovation in Health/Wellness, Collaboration in Health/Wellness, and Lifetime Achievement. The Healthcare Heroes event is presented by Elms College. Nominations can be submitted at businesswest.com/healthcare-heroes/nominations. For more information, call (413) 781-8600.
