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.

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.

NYC Freelancers Set to Get New Protections

  -  

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is set to sign into law a new bill to protect the city’s freelance workers. The first of its kind in the country, The Freelance Isn’t Free Act creates harsh penalties for employers who delay or deny payment to freelancers and sets a strict window within which they must be paid. Employers will now have a 30-day window after services are rendered (or another greed upon date) to make payment in full. Employers must provide a written contact for projects involving $800 or more. Employers found in breach of the law will be required to double damages, plus are responsible for attorney fees. They are prohibited from retaliating against the freelancers who enforce their labor rights.

A 2015 report from the Freelancers Union found that more than 70% of freelancers in New York have had problems receiving payment.
