United We Stand

What is the South Florida Musicians Association? Several people working in an office to collect your work dues and enforce your contracts? NO! We hope that SFMA is 925 members working together to prove that there’s strength in numbers…

What can we achieve working together?

• Pension contributions on all gigs
• Contracts guaranteeing us adequate working conditions, job security, and recognition as an important part of the organization
• Realistic living wages based on scales we set
• More (better) jobs

What can we achieve when divided?

• Lots of complaining

But we can’t do all of this ourselves. Would you like to see:

• Wage scales enforced?

• Better recognition and respect from employers and in the community?

• An outreach program to educate student musicians?

Progress can be made, but only with your input. Call us, come to meetings, talk to us. Tell us what needs to be done. Help us show our strength. Donate a few hours a month to serve on a committee working to promote your interests:

• Scale committee

• Public Relations/Media

• Education/Outreach

See a need? Do something about it! Working together, we can strengthen this Local to be as strong as perhaps Local 802 or 47, but apart we will accomplish little.
