john,
Think of your favorite song or a movie performance … the arts fill our lives with joy, they make us laugh and help get us through tough times -- and we have entertainment workers to thank for that! Now, your state Senator needs to hear from you! Add your name NOW to help pass two important bills to free entertainment workers and artists from unfair and outdated contracts.
The Let Artists Work (LAW) Act would abolish unfair contract provisions that keep actors tied to employers and force them to forfeit other employment. The LAW Act gives artists the freedom to work as much as they need to work without being held to unreasonable restrictions. The Free Artists from Industry Restrictions (FAIR) Act would finally allow recording artists to leave their personal services contracts after seven years without the threat of crushing financial penalties.
We need your support NOW! Both bills have a hearing Wednesday, June 22 before a key California Senate Committee.
If you believe ALL workers deserve the freedom to support themselves and provide for their families, click HERE to send a letter to your state Senator urging them to pass these two critical pieces of legislation.
Thank you for supporting the creative workers that make the arts possible!
In solidarity,
California Labor Federation
