Welcome to our website! The Musicians Union Local 6 is a labor union for professional musicians. Our goal is to improve the economic status, social position and general welfare of our members. We serve the following Bay Area locations:

San Francisco, Alameda, Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, Emeryville, Albany,
Marin County, and San Mateo County.

Membership is open to all musicians and vocalists who work part-time or full-time in pop, rock, country, jazz, classical, folk or other areas of music making. We are affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (AFM). If you are outside of our jurisdiction and would like to find the local in your area, visit the AFM National Website. *

 

Local 6 would like to thank everyone who came to the membership meeting on Monday, January 25.

The total attendance for the meeting was 111 (a record turnout!). The Bylaw amendment to increase the work dues by .5% to 2.25%was passed by a wide margin of 96 to 15, and the changes to the Area Wide Casual Wage Scale, including adjustment of meal reimbursement rates and expansion of the "Chamber Music" category to include small ensemble concerts involving other musical genres, passed unaninmously.
