Sunshine Pops Imposes Eight Percent Pay Cut
We have been informed that the Sunshine Pops no longer intends to make AFM-EPF pension contributions for its musicians, effectively giving its musicians an eight-percent pay cut. For a musician performing just one season season, that could result in a loss of over $1000 in pension benefits paid during the course of their retirement years. Also, please note that the Pension Fund has not yet received pension contributions from Sunset Entertainment/Sunshine Pops for most of the 2007-2008 season and will soon be escalating their collection efforts.
