2024 Membership Drive American Federation of Musicians Local 47

Now is the perfect time to become a member of the American Federation of Musicians of Los Angeles.

During our Spring Membership Drive April 1 through June 30, 2024, new & returning members pay ZERO initiation fees — a savings of $140!

As a professional musician, your real strength comes from working collectively with other musicians. If you are not a member of the musicians union, ask yourself:

Do I want to be paid fairly for my talent and skill?

Do I want access to quality health care and pension?

Do I want to be safe on the job?

Do I want access to expert assistance if something goes wrong?

If you answered yes, you’re ready to join the union!

Serving thousands of professional musicians throughout Los Angeles, the American Federation of Musicians Local 47 promotes and protects the concerns of professional musicians in all areas of the music industry.

Isolated musicians are more easily exploited and less likely to receive the benefits AFM Local 47 members enjoy — contracts that are more than just pieces of paper, health care and pension, scale wages worthy of professionals, and more.
