musicians union
Performers' collective bargaining
A musicians union is a labor organization representing professional musicians, negotiating wages, working conditions, and rights for performers.
The American Federation of Musicians is the largest such union in North America.
Members pay dues in exchange for contract protections, health benefits, and collective bargaining power: The musicians union sets minimum pay scales for studio sessions.
