KEEP THE IM COMING-Your local reports all address changes to the Federation, which insures uninterrupted delivery of the IM. The sooner you tell your local you're moving, the faster your address is changed, especially now that many locals report address changes via the Internet. Members who are suspended for non-payment of dues in any local they belong to aren't entitled to receive the IM, even if they're in good standing in another local. Receiving the IM is a membership benefit and, as with all union benefits, it isn't extended to musicians who don't pay their dues.

Unfair List Policy & Procedures

To make the AFM's International Unfair List an even more effective way to support musicians during primary labor disputes, the International Executive Board revised the policy and procedures for placing and maintaining employers on the International Unfair List. As a result, the AFM's International Unfair List will be published in its entirety in the International Musician on a monthly basis, so that members may be aware of all employers maintained on the International Unfair List.

PLACEMENTS

Under the terms of the new policy, a primary labor dispute must exist between the union and the employer at the time of placement on the International Unfair List. Such disputes may include, but are not limited to:

1) Lawful strikes in support of the union's bargaining demands and/or demands for union recognition;

2) Employer-initiated lockouts of musicians represented by the AFM or any of its locals;

3) Union protests against employer unfair labor practices.

An employer that is openly anti-union but is not the subject of concerted activity by the union will not be placed on the International Unfair List.

An employer placed on the International Unfair List will remain on the list only as long as a primary labor dispute exists, and the local provides written evidence of ongoing concerted activity against the employer.

The Federation will publish the names of employers that are removed from the International Unfair List at the time of removal.

MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES

Members are reminded that, in accordance with Article 8, Section 3 of the AFM Bylaws, "Members shall not render musical services for organizations, establishments, or people who have been placed on the International Unfair List. Any member who violates this Section shall be subject to penalties in accordance with Article 11, Section 13 [of the AFM Bylaws]."

In addition, according to Article 13, Section 4 of the AFM Bylaws, "Before accepting any Traveling Engagement, members shall be responsible to ascertain that the organization, establishment, or person for whom they propose to render musical services has not been placed on the International Unfair List."
