Crystal Cathedral Screwing With Their Musicians Again

I had a friend who finally had to sue the Crystal Cathedral to get the money owed him for his work in their services, but it looks like the management there didn't learn from that experience:
Several members of the orchestra hired to perform at the Crystal Cathedral's Easter Sunday services walked out and refused to play after they realized that the church had paid them half of what was promised to them.

Long-time orchestra members said they have refrained from taking the cathedral to court for failure to pay in the past in light of the megachurch's bankruptcy and church leaders' pleas. But getting shortchanged on their paychecks on Easter Sunday was the last straw, they said.
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of paying musician jobs around for those people to go to, but at the same time it's not worth working for someone whose word you can't trust.
