As far as I have ever been able to learn, the only advice that counts on

I am  curious to how many present on the list are union members. I am 
curious to  the benefits there are in joining the union as well as some 
personal  experiences. I have been told that whether or not a musician 
should join  the union depends heavily on the state that he or she is in. 
Some  states, I am told invoke the right to work  laws.

Thanks,
Mike
