Really great news, the largest union organization in the US has joined the fight for fairness for the world’s recording artists and session performers!

MusicFirst leader Joe Crowley said:

> **“*We applaud the AFL-CIO for standing by artists and music creators and lending the strength of its 12.5 million members to fight for passage of the American Music Fairness Act.***  
>  
> ***This legislation will benefit artists across the country – including the tens of thousands who are members of SAG-AFTRA, the American Federation of Musicians and other AFL-CIO unions – by correcting a decades-long injustice fueled by corporate greed that has left artists uncompensated for their use of their songs on AM/FM radio.*“**
