Informações:

Synopsis

The Union of Musicians and Allied Workers sent a letter of demands to Congress signed by members of Fugazi, Downtown Boys, Speedy Ortiz, and many more. A long list of independent artists has formed the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) to respond to the devastating effects the coronavirus pandemic has had on touring musicians and the industry as a whole. On top of efforts to secure more aid for struggling musicians during the crisis, the union will also "address issues facing musicians such as streaming payments, mechanical royalties, relationships between musicians and venues and record labels and more." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ed-namrok/message
