======================================<\/p>\n
I. RESOLUTION No. 4<\/p>\n
Here is the RESOLUTION presented to the LAW committee and
\nthe AFM Convention this week in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Recording contracts and RMA role<\/p>\n
WHEREAS, The RMA policy of refusing to allow buyouts options for
\nAFM recording contracts, has resulted in an 80%+ reduction of
\nrecording work in Los Angeles and across the federation, also
\nplaying a role in Local 47 needing to sell it’s historic building<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
WHEREAS, This policy promoted by the RMA has led to multiple
\nlocations across the federation recording non-union because
\ncontracts are unusable. (i.e. Nashville, Los Angeles – dark,
\nVirginia, Indiana, New York – dark, San Francisco – dark,
\nVancouver, etc., Seattle)<\/p>\n
WHEREAS, Repeated lawsuits by the RMA, through its surrogates,
\nagainst the AFM have squandered hundreds of thousands of dollars
\nof rank and file musicians’ dues in frivolous and self-serving
\nlitigation.<\/p>\n
WHEREAS,\u00a0 the unsuccessful campaign instigated by the RMA
\nagainst Lions Gate has also wasted tens of thousands of dollars
\nof rank and file musicians’ dues; and<\/p>\n
WHEREAS the Colorado Symphony has decertified the AFM because
\nof ineffective media restrictions. (This was later removed)<\/p>\n
Whereas\u00a0the AFM,\u00a0while adopting most of the RMA\u2019s ineffective
\npolicies, has refused to sanction union members in Nashville
\ndoing non-union recording projects despite the fact that the
\nNashville local president is a member of the IEB; and<\/p>\n
WHEREAS, Officers of the RMA have participated in recording
\nsessions outside of the U.S. and have played on domestic
\nlibrary recording sessions also without AFM sanctions; and<\/p>\n
WHEREAS, both the AFM and RMA have no program, whatsoever,
\nto improve the economic hardships faced by recording musicians:
\ntherefore, be it<\/p>\n
RESOLVED, That the AFM move forward to allow proper buyout
\nand competitive contracts in areas such as Video Games, Trailers,
\nSamples, Low and Medium Budget Films etc.; and be it further.<\/p>\n
RESOLVED, That to accomplish this, the destructive influence of
\nthe RMA be removed by excluding it from any role in the
\nformation, execution or creation of any AFM contracts<\/p>\n
Submitted by Local 300<\/p>\n
===============================<\/p>\n
II. HISTORY CALLING FOR THE RMA REMOVAL RESOLUTION<\/p>\n
Colleagues,<\/p>\n
Long time AFM and Local 47 member Charles Fernandez attended
\nthe convention with the intention of speaking in support of the
\nresolution.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Member Fernandez was not informed as to when the
\ncommittee would discuss Resolution 4, so was not in attendance
\nwhen it was. Whether this was by design, or accidental, we don’t
\nknow. We do, however, know that member Fernandez was not
\nallowed to speak on the floor of the convention, though he was
\ntold he could speak to the committee before the decision.<\/p>\n
In other words, the committee made the decision without allowing
\nsupport expressed for the resolution, while no doubt the RMA was
\nthere to influence the committee and a decision was made as to it’s
\nfate without any feedback from those who wrote the resolution.<\/p>\n
Naturally, the sheep at the convention all bowed their heads and
\nsaid nothing, though they know better than anyone the damage
\nthe RMA has caused.<\/p>\n
Member Fernandez was to speak in favor of the resolution, owing to
\nhis extensive knowledge of the origin and result of the RMA’s
\noutsized role and control of Local 47 and the AFM.<\/p>\n
Below you will find Member Fernandez’ entire presentation
\nprepared for the LAW Committee (Which they never heard.)<\/p>\n
ABOUT THE RESOLUTION TO REMOVE THE RMA FROM CONTRACT ROLES
\nLocal 47 member, Charles Fernandez<\/p>\n
The RMA in its original form was the RMAC in the 60\u2019s. It\u2019s incarnation
\nas the RMA originated in the early 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n
The original concept behind special payments in the 1960’s was to
\nattract business with lower, more affordable rates up front with the
\nunderstanding that if a film was successful, a percentage of that
\nsuccess (profit) would go to the musicians.<\/p>\n
Back when Los Angeles and New York were the only places to record
\nthis worked fine. The RMA LA contractor, however, spent years
\ncharging triple and quadruple scales, believing that they had a corner
\non the market and that producers would never seek another option.
\nThis same RMA contractor would book most big rooms in town
\nmaking them unavailable, then cancel all but one at the last minute.
\nThe contractor would also over book musicians to make them
\nunavailable, then cancel them at the last minute as well.<\/p>\n
An employee at a major music copyist\u2019s office once overheard this
\nmain RMA contractor telling a potential client, \u201cI\u2019ve got the only
\norchestra in town and I\u2019m not available, so you need to go elsewhere.\u201d
\nThis at a time when you could easy have 6 or 7 top notch orchestras in
\nLos Angeles working at once. It\u2019s not much different today, considering
\nthere are immeasurably more \u201cA-list\u201d players in Los Angeles than there
\nare on the \u201cA-list\u201d.<\/p>\n
It was bound to happen that producers would tire of being fleeced and
\nbegin looking elsewhere to record.<\/p>\n
With Mr. Holland\u2019s Opus and Die Hard II, Seattle proved it could score
\nanything LA could and record it did. London as well could and did score
\nprojects big and small. The horse had left the barn, movie studios could
\nno longer be held hostage by triple and quadruple budgets and huge
\nback end payments.<\/p>\n
Some RMA members say that the strike of the 1980\u2019s opened the door
\nto studios looking for other recording options. If the RMA leadership
\nhad had even the slightest interest in a long term view, the exodus
\ncould have been slowed, but the back end made the result inevitable,
\nstrike or not.<\/p>\n
The RMA has controlled big budget recording and Local 47 in Los
\nAngeles for a long time and to a large extent still does. One wrong
\nword and your recording career was over as can be attested to by
\n100\u2019s of musicians who fell \u201cout of favor\u201d with the RMA leadership.
\nThis same threat doesn\u2019t work so well anymore since the work is a
\nshadow of it\u2019s former self.<\/p>\n
Once the work started to leave, the RMA Leadership covered their
\nears or simply refused to see the inevitable. They were and are the
\nbuggy whip makers in the age of the remote recording, internet and
\ncloud technology whose only concern was and is the size of their
\nJuly check, regardless of the damage caused to anyone else.<\/p>\n
But what has the RMA done besides being completely in denial on
\nthe backend? Local 47 is little more than RMA West, and most of
\nthe IEB has not had the spine to stand up to them.<\/p>\n
A WAR<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk about the Tom Lee years. The RMA leadership detested
\nTom Lee because he wouldn\u2019t genuflect to the RMA and insisted
\non working on the behalf of ALL members.<\/p>\n
A case in point was his \u201cVideo Game Agreement\u201d. To this date, it
\nis only the Tom Lee VG agreement put out by the AFM that has
\never been used for any significant work.<\/p>\n
WHY?<\/p>\n
Video games have no back end, never will, but the VG Companies
\nwill not sign an assumption agreement. The Tom Lee contract
\nallowed composers to sign the assumption agreement (No back
\nend to pay, no problem for the composer).<\/p>\n
Video Games were scored AFM with this contract; composers,
\nplayers and the companies were happy.<\/p>\n
But since the RMA leadership didn\u2019t have a big say in it\u2019s writing,
\nand because anything having to do with Tom Lee had to be bad,
\nthe RMA leadership hated this contract.<\/p>\n
They hated it so much in fact, that as an orchestra prepared for
\nfive days of double sessions for the Simpson\u2019s Video Game, someone
\nassociated with RMA put notes on the stands of the players saying
\nin effect, \u201cWe don\u2019t like this contract and we don\u2019t think you
\nshould be working under this contract.\u201d<\/p>\n
Half the orchestra bailed on the sessions, afraid of blacklisting if
\nthey stayed. The VG Companies were livid and vowed never to
\nreturn to Los Angeles. The studio and their crew lost a week of
\nwork. So the work remained union, but went to San Francisco.
\nNone of those companies would touch LA and the \u201cRMAers\u201d with
\na 20 foot pole and still won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
The RMA leadership never forgot this, as you will see.<\/p>\n
THE PMG (THE GUILD)<\/p>\n
The RMA Leadership created an illegal \u201cUnion\u201d (their word) called
\nthe Professional Musicians Guild to record Video Games in the event
\nthat Tom Lee was re-elected. The listed leadership for both the RMA
\nand the PMG were similar. Marc Sazar was listed as the PMG Secretary
\nTreasurer, Vice-President of the RMA, while even being the web master
\nof Local 47. Conflicts of interest do not come much bigger than this.
\nHal Espinosa, then president of Local 47, was nothing more than an
\nadvocate for the RMA and whatever itch that wanted scratched.<\/p>\n
At the video game conferences in San Francisco, these RMA\/CMG
\nmembers introduced themselves as AFM members who were
\nauthorized to handle video games contracts (A blatant lie). They
\nalso told the game industry reps that they should call the \u201cguild\u201d
\nwhen they\u2019re ready to record. If you called the number on the \u201cGUILD\u201d
\nbusiness card you reached the RMA OFFICE IN THE LOCAL 47 BUILDING.
\nThe Local said nothing. If the RMA leadership couldn\u2019t get the work
\nlegally, they\u2019d try to do so illegally.<\/p>\n
This illegal organization violated AFM Bylaw (Article 10, Section 3) by
\ncreating an illegal competing union in the federation\u2019s jurisdiction,
\ntrying to take over Video Games negotiations, and falsely claiming
\nAFM approval.<\/p>\n
They even got a journalist to write an article for them.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Variety Business: Musicians to tune out AFM union\u2028Over 200 join Professional Musicians Guild\u2028By JON BURLINGAME
\nL.A. musicians have placed the American Federation of Musicians
\non notice: Shape up or face possible decertification as their collective-
\nbargaining agent for film and TV recordings.
\nMore than 200 of the estimated 900 professional musicians who are
\nmost active on film-scoring dates have already joined the new
\nProfessional Musicians Guild, according to PMG president Andrew
\nMalloy…<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
The Guild\u2019s goal was perfectly clear, and in their own words, it was
\nan attempt to bust the AFM.<\/p>\n
With one of their Officers being the Secretary-Treasurer of the PMG,
\nthe Vice President of the RMALA and webmaster of Local 47, the
\nconflict of interest between the RMA and the GUILD could not be more
\nsolid.<\/p>\n
No less solid was the link between the GUILD and LOCAL 47.<\/p>\n
At a conference in New England at the time, Mr. Espinosa not only
\ndefended the GUILD, and admitted that one of the PMG\u2019s officers held
\nan enforcement position at the Local (The Hearing Board), but went
\nfurther and said he would take no action against any GUILD member
\nunless forced to by the Federation.<\/p>\n
His true loyalties were clear; to the RMALA above all. The IEB was no
\nmore help than President Espinosa. The governing body of our federation
\nwould do nothing to stop this illegal guild, or was simply impotent to do
\nso. Local 47 was (and still is) owned by the RMA, but it turned out so was
\nthe IEB.<\/p>\n
In truth, it was all about getting back at Tom Lee at the member\u2019s
\nexpense.<\/p>\n
THE LAWSUITS<\/p>\n
Then there were the lawsuits. The RMA leadership would call a contract
\npromulgated or that they didn\u2019t have enough input. Or it was a tax
\nthey didn\u2019t like. They even got the RMA Membership up in arms about
\na sliding scale of tax payments that was actually put in place by the
\nRMA leadership itself, as well as changing the rules so that only those
\nplayers who spent enough hours recording could vote on contracts,
\n(Shutting out a vast majority of their own members nation-wide), yet they
\nshifted the blame to Tom Lee, and the gullible bought it hook, line and
\nsinker.<\/p>\n
The RMA then created a company called FAREPLAY, to collect money
\nfrom RMA Members to help pay for the Lawsuits.<\/p>\n
Though the RMA kept losing these suits, they made it clear that as
\nlong as Tom Lee was the AFM President they would make the AFM\u2019s
\nlife hell and that they would see the AFM member\u2019s dues spent fighting
\nthe RMA Lawsuits.<\/p>\n
At the following convention, the votes were in, and the RMA\u2019s candidate,
\nRay Hair was elected. The RMA had not forgotten about that Video Game
\nwork though, and if they couldn\u2019t have it no one could. This is where we
\nsee the true pettiness and insidiousness of the RMA leadership.<\/p>\n
One of the first things the newly elected President Hair was told to do was
\nto decree that ONLY COMPANIES could sign the VG assumption
\nagreement, not composers. In that moment, all video game scoring not
\ngrandfathered in with the Tom Lee Contract was lost, gone off to Seattle,
\nor London or anywhere, or eventually, Nashville, but never AFM again. As
\nI said, if the RMA leadership couldn\u2019t have it, no other AFM members
\ncould.<\/p>\n
Another example of RMA Arrogance?\u00a0 Two RMA leaders from Los Angeles
\nwent to a meeting with the RMASF board and had the gall to tell them,
\naccording to sources, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you guys concentrate on side-lining
\nand leave the recording to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long after that, that the RMASF, seeing the true nature of the
\nRMA and that it will only ever be about the RMA Los Angeles, disbanded
\ntheir chapter.<\/p>\n
Eventually, and fairly recently, President Hair stopped filing every lawsuit
\nthe RMA leadership wanted.<\/p>\n
The Result? One of those same two RMA leaders stood up in a meeting
\nand announced to the room that Ray Hair was the worst president the
\nAFM had ever had. Quite a statement coming from one of his creators,
\nand all because he (Ray Hair) wouldn\u2019t continue to kiss the ring and file
\nall the lawsuits the RMA leadership wanted (Spending rank and file\u2019s
\ndues money).<\/p>\n
Of course these lawsuits would only benefit the RMA elites. It seems
\nPresident Hair is now in new \u201cTom Lee\u201d.<\/p>\n
BUH BYE WORK!<\/p>\n
It is estimated that Los Angeles has now lost over 85% percent of its
\nwork, even worse in the rest of the federation. Many musicians, in
\nVirginia, Nashville, Seattle, Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles and
\nelsewhere, tired of not working and needing to feed their families and
\npay their mortgages are giving the finger to the AFM and either working
\ndark dates or going fi-core, and all because the AFM refuses to stand up
\nto a minuscule band of very selfish, greedy people (not all RMA members
\nto be sure, but the leadership and a few others.)<\/p>\n
Oh,\u2026 and sidelining? The RMAERS and their contractor began doing
\nsidelining, and have even taken over some of the USC film scoring
\nsessions, something that just a few years ago would be anathema to
\nthem. The Local administration helped that along by gutting the referral
\nservice of Local 47 and having all calls about sidelining transferred to the
\nelectronic music services office, home of guess who. They now try to take
\nover orchestras, having poisoned their own watering hole, and are trying
\nto push out the rank and file middle class in the process.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s Review:<\/p>\n
The Guild; The Lawsuits; Fareplay; The insidious conduct; all these point
\nto an organization that has become poisonous to the federation and must
\nbe side-lined if the federation is to come back from the brink recording wise.<\/p>\n
When I joined Local 47 it had over 13,000 members, now it\u2019s half that.<\/p>\n
While no one expects the major motion pictures to go buyout, we need
\nbuyouts contracts for Video Games, Libraries, Sampling, Trailers and
\nlower budget projects.<\/p>\n
For the companies, they\u2019re willing to pay more for a buyout, but on the
\nother hand, I was told by an orchestrator for one of the biggest VG
\nFranchises that the company was willing to pay $100,000 extra to go to
\nLondon rather than record AFM. Now that\u2019s bad blood!<\/p>\n
Increase all the scales by 50%, or 100%, on a buyout basis and you\u2019ll find
\na lot of those dark dates coming back to the AFM, with the
\ncommensurate increase in dues, health and welfare and pension paid. Far
\nmore of our work would be on contract, and the ONLY ones who\u2019ll
\ncomplain will be those who\u2019ve done so very much to destroy our
\nfederation. Hell, if we\u2019d done it years ago the members may not have
\nbeen persuaded\u00a0 to sell the iconic Local 47 building.<\/p>\n
The choice is up to you, but now neither you nor anyone else can say they
\nweren\u2019t warned or informed. Keep kissing the RMA\u2019s ring, and you kiss
\nthe AFM\u2019s recording future good-bye.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your time,<\/p>\n

III. NON-UNION RECORDING LOCALES<\/p>\n
Member Fernandez was to present to the committee an
\nincomplete list of 23 recording locations where clients
\ncan record as a buyout.<\/p>\n
As we do not want to promote the details of these recording
\noptions, we will only include their locations. (Some have more
\nthan one.):<\/p>\n
1) Armenia
\n2) Bratislava
\n3) Costa Rica
\n4) France
\n5)Lisbon
\n6) London (4 options)
\n7) Los Angeles (3 options)
\n8) Macedonia
\n9) Mexico
\n10) Nashville
\n11) New York
\n12) Prague
\n13) San Francisco
\n14) Seattle (2 options)
\n15) Tiblisi, Georgia
\n16) Vienna<\/p>\n
There are certainly more options than are listed here.<\/p>\n
[COLLEAGUES,
\nSo as was made clear, the AFM LAW COMMITTEE and AFM decided to
\ncontinue to kiss the RMA’s ring and let our recording industry die.<\/p>\n
Congrats folks,<\/p>\n
No doubt apathy and nonunion recording will grow, but remember…
\nWe did not leave our union, our union left us to genuflect for an
\nunethical and greedy recording musician leadership. And the sheep
\nhave gotten what they deserve.]<\/p>\n

\nREJECTED RESOLUTION.]<\/p>\n
