The American Federation of Musicians was founded in 1896 , at which time it took over from an older and looser organization of local musicians unions, the ''National League of Musicians''. One of the most famous actions by the AFM was a ban on all commercial recording by members in the 1940s in order to pressure Record Companies to make a better arrangement for paying royalties to recording artists. This was sometimes called the ''Petrillo Ban'', after the longtime powerful leader of the union, James Petrillo . EXTERNAL LINK |
