Let’s Stand Together! Report Dark Dates

Dark Dates

Call, text or click: Report Dark Dates that undermine ALL musicians

When studios and production companies stage non-union, or “dark,” recording dates, they do not contribute any health or pension benefits, and weaken musicians’ leverage at the negotiating table. By allowing companies to deny fair Union contracts, it puts the livelihoods of all musicians in jeopardy.

Musicians who refuse & report dark d­ates are taking a stand to keep their stake in any of the Union contracts they work under, from recording to live performance. Choose to stand alongside your colleagues to maintain the ability to collectively bargain and protect all our rights as workers. Keep the integrity of professional musicians alive: Say NO to All Non-Union Dates! 

The American Federation of Musicians will fight to make ALL scoring sessions Union sessions. Please report the time and location of non-union recording sessions to the AFM Local 47 Electronic Media Division through our anonymous tip line: Call/text 424-431-DARK (3275) or click bit.ly/darkdate
