Musicians as Workers
At a Musicians’ Workshop led by Heather Hay (International Liberation Reference Person for Musicians), I called a topic group for musicians and our role in the labor movement.
Five of us met. We were both current and former union members. All of us made money by doing music. I encouraged us to notice that we were workers, that we were members of the working class, and that we made something of value.
Capitalism seeks to divide us and have us compete for seemingly limited resources. Right now we have a tremendous opportunity to unite with other workers to tackle this oppressive system.
