> Yesterday I was presented with this question from one of my interns: are there

any unions for music therapists? When you get hired as a music therapist in a

non union job can you then join a union to feel more secure in your job? I know

that recreation therapists can get unionized jobs but is that also possible for

music therapists? And if then which union does the music therapist join? I

myself come from a strongly unionized country where everyone is in a union but

that does not seem to be the case here n USA. Is anyone out there in a union job

for a music therapist? If then please write to me so I can spread the

information to my upcoming music therapy candidates from NYU and from my interns

at work. And I thank everyone for this wonderful list serve. Great communication

tool. Benedikte Scheiby

Hello,I believe that all the creative arts therapists that work at HHC (Health & Hospitals Corporation) are unionized.  They have the option to join DC37 local 768.  All of the public " city hospitals " in New York City are part of HHC (Bellevue, Metropolitan, Woodhull, King's County, North Central Bronx, Elmhurst, etc, etc).
