Musicians Advised Not to Play Palm Beach Pops Recording Sessions
Please be advised that the Palm Beach Pops is planning to record several non-Union sessions with a large orchestra in South Florida this weekend. This organization has a history of avoiding negotiations with the AFM. They have refused requests to record this project under AFM agreements. The pay and working conditions being offered are below those of AFM agreements. Many musicians are refusing to play these non-AFM sessions under these conditions.If you are contacted by the Palm Beach Pops to play on this recording, please realize that by accepting this dark date, you would not only be accepting pay that is below scale, a lack of benefits, and lack of protection for New Use, but you would also be undercutting your fellow musicians who are trying to make a stand for fair and acceptable treatment.
