Fair Trade Music
Fair Trade” refers to an organized social movement that aims to help workers develop sustainable living wages so their families and communities can improve their health, education, and environmental standards.
It requires that the distributors of their goods voluntarily take a bit less of the profits because it is the “right thing to do”. We at Local 1000 of the American Federation of Musicians have always believed that musicians should be paid a fair and just living wage and be able to have a good and safe working environment as a right, not a privilege.
