I. THE FUTURE OF OUR LOCAL

Greetings Local 47 Brothers and Sisters,

If our local is to survive and become the local the vast majority of us needs it to be, and the local we deserve; and the local our dues pay for, we desperately need a changing of the guard. We need a new administration concerned with the common good for the majority, not the common good of the minority whose interests are already covered elsewhere.

Those who consider themselves solely recording musicians have their champion in the RMA. It is well past time that the concerns of our local shift back to the needs of the other 6,600 members: the Teachers, Casual, Symphonic and Theater players who more than deserve this locals’ assistance, dedication and attention. We are not getting that now, nor will we in the future with this administration, in the opinion of the Committee and those we’ve asked, judging on their previous actions.

It’s time for change, it’s time to clean house and WE NOW HAVE A TICKET WE CAN VOTE FOR!

These people represent every area of our business (Recording, Symphonic, Theater, Casuals, Touring, Negotiations and Teaching) and are the key to our Local’s future!
