The Shreveport Federation of Musicians, known as Local 116 of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, also known as the " Local Musician's Union" is a non-profit organization dedicated to and advocating for professional musicians. The AFM has been promoting and protecting professional musicians for over 110 years. We are the only organization that truly represents the

interests of professional musicians and performers in our area, and, we are part of the largest organization in the world that represents the interests of professional musicians. Local 116 has been serving our area since July 1, 1900, and continues to be an effective advocate for musicians' rights in the workplace (be that a nightclub, a symphony stage, in a recording studio, or on tour). The AFM and Local 116 do the best we can to protect the recorded works musicians produce from being exploited, and protect our members live performances by providing several types of benefit programs that help them build successful careers. Members of the Shreveport Federation of Musicians Local 116 are secure in knowing that their organization is actively lobbying to promote legislation and public awareness that protects musicians' interests, negotiating collective bargaining agreements with the recording industry, motion picture industry, jingle industry, TV networks, National Public TV and Radio, and providing excellent wages and working conditions for its members. The stronger we are in numbers, the stronger we are collectively.
