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.

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 Uber and Lyft Regulations Are a Union Victory

  -  

Taxi Workers Alliance Executive Director Bhairavi Desai says that new regulations for ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft mark the “dawning of a new day for a workforce of 100,000 men and women.” The measures will cap the number of ride-hailing vehicles. Taxi drivers have complained of the hardships—congestion and suppression of wages—in attempting to compete with ride-hailing services. Cab owners, unlike ride-hailing drivers, were forced to purchase medallions valued at up to $1.3 million, putting them deeply into debt.

“Three years ago we lost,” she remarks, noting Uber’s key victories in 2015. “Often times corporations think that once the workers lose, it’s a done deal. The fact that we were able to keep organizing and come back three years later and win is really an important message to these companies that [they] can’t keep underestimating the workers.”
