\nI. FLASHBACK: JUNE 7th, 2007<\/p>\n
This article was from The Film Music Magazine
\non the subject of the RMA San Francisco voting
\nto disband.<\/p>\n
How much work have we lost since then?
\nHow much work has been taken or prevented rom
\ngoing to other locals (like Colorado) since then?<\/p>\n
————————————-<\/p>\n
In the latest episode of the internal struggles occurring
\nwithin the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) labor
\nunion, the San Francisco chapter of the Recording Musicians
\nAssociation has dissolved just days before a critical national
\nmeeting of AFM leaders.<\/p>\n
The Recording Musicians Associations is a \u201cplayer conference\u201d
\nwithin the American Federation of Musicians that focuses
\non recording musicians.<\/p>\n
In a letter sent by the RMA SF chapter to the RMA International
\noffice in Los Angeles, the RMA SF board cited major conflicts
\nwith the RMA International in the areas of film, television and
\nvideo game scoring, stating, \u201cOur motion picture and videogame
\nrecording industry is in crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
The RMA SF dissolution letter stated, \u201cEspecially with regard
\nto motion picture, television and videogame recording work,
\nRMA International seems to exclusively serve the interests
\nof a small group of musicians in its Los Angeles Chapter.<\/p>\n
In turn, RMALA appears to be dedicated to keeping this
\nwork away from RMA musicians in other chapters, and,
\nin fact, other musicians within their own Local.\u201d
\nTo read the entire RMA SF
\ndissolution letter, click here.<\/p>\n
(Then) RMA International President Phil Ayling sent Film
\nMusic Magazine a detailed response to the RMA
\nSF letter, and said that AFM (San Francisco) Local President
\nDavid Schoenbrun \u201cinappropriately made proposals
\nto the AFM on the [RMA] Chapter\u2019s behalf and would use
\nthe weight of his office to back-in local approval afterwards,\u201d
\nAyling cited what he sees as larger issues with the AFM
\nand recording musicians, saying, \u201cThe closure of RMASF is
\nall about AFM leadership failure in representing recording
\nmusicians.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ayling\u2019s statement continued, \u201cRMA has long been
\nsupportive of commercial recording in San Francisco.
\nIn response to reports of non-union records and jingles,
\nwe worked vigorously with local musicians to confront
\nthat. Neither the [San Francisco] Local President David
\nSchoenbrun, nor AFM President Tom Lee has made
\nsubstantive efforts to organize that employment.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Francisco AFM Local 6 President David Schoenbrun,
\nin a statement to Film Music Magazine today responding
\nto Ayling\u2019s statement, said that it is every AFM Local\u2019s
\nright per AFM bylaws to submit proposals on any and
\nall agreements to the AFM, and that proposals submitted
\nby AFM Local 6 were approved by the RMA SF Board.<\/p>\n
Schoenbrun emphasized that proposals were submitted
\nby Local 6 because proposals submitted through the
\nRMA SF must be vetted by the RMA International,
\nand according to Schoenbrun, \u201cany attempts by RMA SF
\nmusicians to add their input and opinions to RMA
\nproposals were met with rejection by the RMA International.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schoenbrun continued, \u201cThe RMA SF letter speaks for itself.
\nThe RMA SF believes that the actions of the RMA International
\nworked to the detriment of San Francisco recording musicians,
\nand that is the sole reason the RMA SF membership voted
\nto dissolve the chapter.<\/p>\n
My response to Phil\u2019s accusations that I intimidated
\nmembers is, \u2018methinks he doth protest too much…\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
