Dear Friend,
Disney is launching their new streaming service Disney Plus tomorrow. They are expecting 60 to 90 million subscribers in the next five years and billions in revenue, but they refuse to negotiate a fair contract for the musicians who score their films and television shows.
Please take a moment to stand with musicians fighting for a fair contract by calling Disney Plus right now at 888-905-7888.
Music is vital to bringing films to life, but the studios do not want to pay musicians industry standard wages and residuals for new media projects. As more and more work moves directly to streaming, this could result in a 75% cut to musicians' income.
Musicians who provide the music for live television, as well as television films and shows have been taking action across the country and bringing the fight for justice directly to the studios, but now they need our support.
In Unity,
Ray Hair
AFM International President
