TFM GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING Monday, October 3rd at 7PM!

Hello TFM Members (& non-members)!
Please plan to attend our upcoming General Membership Meeting! At this meeting we will be building on what we learned in the Wage Scale discussion we had last spring as we move to a new set of Wage Scales that work better for our needs.  This is in addition to other topics and business important to TFM – and you. If you have items that you think should be part of the meeting agenda, please email: Local33AFM@gmail.com

Do you have a friend who should be a part of this discussion who might not be a union member? Bring them along! This is an open meeting.

Refreshments provided as always. We look forward to hearing your voice.

TSO CBA Ratification Meeting! – Monday, August 8, 7:00 p.m.

The Negotiating Committee will hold a CBA ratification meeting on Monday, August 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Tucson Symphony Center.
Only AFM members in good standing will be allowed to attend. After the conclusion of this meeting, every contracted TSO musician who is also an AFM/TFM member in good standing will receive a link from Ballot Point. You will then be able to cast your vote to ratify or reject the proposed CBA.  This link will be active until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, August 14.  Since many of us are still out of town, this is the best way to ensure that all eligible members are able to cast a vote confidentially.
The NC believes this contract to be strong with many significant improvements to our working conditions, general governance, wages, and benefits.  We recommend its ratification.  Should you have any questions and are not able to attend the meeting, please do not hesitate to be in touch with one of us.
In solidarity,
Ellen Chamberlain
Mike Becker
Jeff Holsen
