@aJellyElectric @jennylewis kind of like how they went from union to non-union contracts as the industry standard as soon as they realized they could. as the AFM watched and did literally nothing to stop it.

@jennylewis @The_AFM "Labels cut payments to the MPTF in the ‘80s, and in 1984, the NLRT declined to give the Society of Composers and Lyricists the ability to collectively bargain with film and TV producers, saying its members like John Williams and Quincy Jones were independent contractors."

[Jake Falby @jakefalby]

@jennylewis @The_AFM "Union infighting split the group’s allegiances across class, and in the ‘70s, courts ruled that gigging acts were actually independent contractors, with the singer or bandleader as the nominal employer, kneecapping unions’ ability to organize."

[Jake Falby @jakefalby]

why is the @The_AFM content to allow union-signatory jingle houses to sell music under non-union contracts? if they're not content with this, why have they done nothing about it over the past decade as its become common practice?

@jennylewis this movement is long overdue. we are not powerless as many wish to believe.
