...she replied, I was head of marketing for Home Depot stores in eastern division.

So Jody,I guess this qualifies you to go to a Home Depot in the East,& apply for a job in "head marketing",since you're a musician,huh? DUUUHH!! She should think about "marketing her head" somewhere else!!

I don't know about musician's unions in any other towns,but the NashVILE local is totally worthless for club or road musicians. The only ones that they care about is the studio,TV,or symphony musicians! Besides,Tn. is a "right to work" state. They can't stop you from working!

The boss says,"Alice,interview the guy in our conference room,& see what he can do for us."

Alice,interviewing him,says,"I'm going to bonk your head on the table. If it sounds empty,you'll work in marketing."

She returns,& the boss asks,"How did it go?"

Alice replies,"I bonked too hard. We just got a new sales guy."

Re-entry Fees

For a musician who has resigned from Local 802 in good standing (that is, whose Membership and Work Dues were paid up to the date of resignation) and who wishes to re-enter Local 802, a Re-entry Fee of $25 is required, plus a prorated quarterly Membership Dues payment.

For a musician whose membership in Local 802 lapsed not in good standing and who wishes to re-enter Local 802 within four years of the date of lapse, there is a Re-entry Fee of $35, plus a Clearance Fee of up to two quarters' Membership Dues, plus a prorated quarterly Membership Dues payment. If the period of time exceeds four years, the musician is considered a new member and is required to remit a "new members" Initiation Fee of $100.

Call local 802 in New York and ask about it. There's no way it will cost you $1,200 to become a member again. Also, if this is a show that is going to be aired again in the future, you may be entitled to special payments. This means that you will be paid for each additional future airing under the AFM's Special Payments Fund. This may or may not apply here, but it's something you should ask about if you proceed.

I'm not sure about the AFM in the USA, but Canada's AFM is also collecting neighbouring rights on behalf of its members. If you are listed as a musician on any recordings that have received airplay, there's probably money waiting there for you. The AFM has people monitoring radio and television for this information. They're surprisingly dilligent.

The AFM can be a pain in the butt at times, but there's all kinds of stuff there if you take the time to check it out.
