The following petition was initiated by the RMA and Local 47 in Los Angeles. Petition forms are available at Local 802's office, or can be downloaded from the Local 47 website . Please print and sign a petition and urge others to do likewise. As part of the campaign for justice for recording musicians, Local 802 announces the creation of a two-way communication network to better listen to musicians. A liaison will be responsible for five other musicians, to pass along messages from the union and let the union know what issues or concerns musicians have.
Compensation is on a per song basis.
Musicians who played on the original recording receive the basic show rate for the program on which the tracks are played. Obviously it costs more to use tracks than to have the musicians who are present play all of the music. Allegro placed second in the General Excellence category. In a new category for web sites, Local 802 won second place. Two staff positions are now open at Local 802.
