Local 297 Member Benefits

Why be a member of Local 297?

Our primary purpose, as with any labor union, is to represent our members in their workplace. We do this by helping them obtain contracts, administering those contracts, and by setting area wage scale standards. In addition all members of Local 297 receive the AFM's monthly publication, The International Musician and our quarterly publication, Wichita Musician to keep them on top of events in the area.

We also have the Musicians Federal Credit Union and all members in good standing are eligible to join the credit union and take advantage of above-market dividends on savings and low-rate loans on cars, instruments, equipment, etc., with approved credit.
