Musicians to Rally Jan. 22 to Demand Their Fair Share

In less than three weeks, musicians will begin bargaining with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) for the motion picture and TV film contract.

Fight for $15 on April 14th 

Workers are fed up. Fed up with companies like McDonald’s that rake in billions each year while workers can’t make ends meet.

Fed up with impossible choices – between paying bills, feeding our kids or just keeping a roof over our heads.
