Now is the right time to become an American Federation of Musicians member. From
ragtime to rap, from the early phonograph to today's digital recordings, the AFM
has been there for its members. And now there are more benefits available to AFM
members than ever before, including a multi-million dollar pension fund,
excellent contract protection, instrument and travelers insurance, work referral
programs and access to licensed booking agents to keep you working.

As an AFM member, you are part of a membership of more than 80,000 musicians.
Experience has proven that collective activity on behalf of individuals with
similar interests is the most effective way to achieve a goal. The AFM can
negotiate agreements and administer contracts, procure valuable benefits and
achieve legislative goals. A single musician has no such power.

The AFM has a proud history of managing change rather than being victimized by
it. We find strength in adversity, and when the going gets tough, we get
creative - all on your behalf.

Like the industry, the AFM is also changing and evolving, and its policies and
programs will move in new directions dictated by its members. As a member, you
will determine these directions through your interest and involvement. Your
membership card will be your key to participation in governing your union,
keeping it responsive to your needs and enabling it to serve you better. To
become a member now, visit www.afm.org/join.

WHEN CRISIS IS OPPORTUNITY

May 1, 2024

Whether it be on a local or national level, changes in industry practices—or in

center and thereby alienate the […]

THE CHESS MATCH BETWEEN CANADIAN AIRLINES AND GOVERNMENT
