The Greater New Haven Federation of Musicians was organized
on September 22, 1901 as the New Haven Musical Protective
Association and was affiliated as such with the American
Federation of Musicians on September 4,1902. Its goals at that
time were "to unite the Instrumental portion of the Musical
Profession, the establishment and maintenance of a minimum
wage scale, the advancement and conservation of the individual
and collective interests of its Members, the enforcement of good
faith and fair dealing by and between its Members, and the
promotion and stimulation of a true fraternal feeling among the
Membership as a whole".
That mission remains unchanged to this day, though we now
include vocalists among our members. In addition, we
administer CBAs (contracts) with the New Haven Symphony
Orchestra and Orchestra New England. We also assist in
funding live music performances within our jurisdiction through
the Music Performance Fund (MPF, formerly the MPTF or Music
Performance Trust Fund). Our disabled members in financial
need are offered assistance through the Lester Petrillo Memorial
Fund. All members of Local 234-486 have access to a wide
variety of professional services offered through the AFM,
including legal help, contract administration, liability insurance
for performers, instrument insurance, pension funds, a
subscription to the IM (International Musician, the monthly
official journal of the AFM), loan programs, credit card programs
and much more.
