“It seems to me that especially during a time of great instability, people need community and support. These valid forms of human need are met through the union’s support systems which keep musician’s pay and health benefits steady. Nothing could be more crucial for an artist.”

“The most important aspect of our union to me is solidarity. We watch out for each other, and stand up together for our rights and adequate pay.”
