On my film composer mailing list there is much discussion about a composer's union brewing in Los Angeles along the lines of the Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild, etc. But it's in the early stages and there is a lot of back & forth as to who should be included, benefits, Teamsters. The survey is designed to find out what composers really desire in such a union. It's mostly talking about film composers, but the survey does have questions as to whether game composers should be included. Check it out. I have no connection to this survey, just an interested musician passing it along. --------- FILM MUSIC MAGAZINE COMPOSER UNIONIZATION SURVEY ANNOUNCED MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INDUSTRY ISSUES TODAY Film Music Magazine has launched the industry's first comprehensive survey about composer unionization.
