The AFM is not god - what's the worst that a union can do, expel a member? And then that member is free to work as he pleases.

- josephcsible 4y agoDon't you basically sign your life away when you join a union? Couldn't they sue you and maybe even get an injunction against you having that job?
- toyg 4y agoWhat? I know some US sectors are somewhat locked down by unions, but that typically means there is more than a single union in that field anyway - and I would find it surprising that a union can stop you from playing music around the whole of Texas. Definitely the scenario you mention is impossible in Europe.
- cperciva 4y agoThe AFM has pretty much every professional performance job in the country locked down. Getting kicked out of the AFM means giving up their orchestral career.
