Get What You're Worth

Imagine if every trumpet player in south Florida insisted on getting paid $500 per service. Contractors call offering less money, but every trumpet player turns them down...what's the contractor to do? Either do without trumpets, or pay the asking price.

The other day a group of musicians were offered a pittance for a gig. When word got around what Union Scale was for the job, the asking price suddenly doubled.

That's what union scales are about. Strength in numbers. Minimum standards. Respect. Getting what you're worth.

Now imagine if everyone in south Florida insisted on getting pension contributions and on the protection of AFM contracts!
