BSO musicians vote unanimously to authorize strike

The union representing Boston Symphony Orchestra musicians voted unanimously Saturday morning to authorize a strike, a first in the orchestra's 145-year history. The vote does not call an immediate work stoppage; it gives musicians leverage as their contract expires at 11:59 p.m. Sunday. Talks have been complicated by the board's decision not to renew music director Andris Nelsons, and the players committee says management has not agreed to its proposal to bring in a professional mediator.
