Over 100 German state and local orchestras have gone on strike to protest against the constant reduction of jobs for musicians across the country. It is the largest protest organized by German orchestras since 1950.

You fell for the hoax too. The news dates back more than a year ago, when if I'm not mistaken the westrundfunk closed...

Hoax, but I found this other piece of news

Even the Germans make themselves heard... when necessary

"MUSIC NEEDS SECURE SOCIAL CONDITIONS". German theaters have said they learned "with dismay of the plans of the Opera di Roma to dismiss all members of the choir and orchestra and to outsource the artistic work of the theater in the future". The statement also included a "pressing appeal to the superintendent and the mayor of Rome to reconsider the decision". Art needs security, the document continues: "The unmistakable sound of every great choir and orchestra is the result of long work that can only be carried out under secure social conditions."

What I was referring to in my other post by drawing a parallel with researchers within universities...
