AFM Convention
On June 17-20, the 101st Convention of the American Federation of Musicians, held in Las Vegas, was attended by MAH delegates Marcia Schweitzer and Scott Janusch.
Leadership emphasis is that unity is our only strength when standing against employers for fair wages.
One particular focus was on securing fair residual/secondary use compensation on streaming platforms (Hulu, Spotify, Netflix, including TV productions that are picked up by streaming platforms). Fair residual compensation from these platforms is needed, not only for individual musicians, but to support our pension fund.
