[Fmpro] why does AFM not include composers?

[Christopher Alpiar]

OK Well then in that case, why would the film companies that hire  
composers feel any unease about being a signatory for a composer union  
than they do already with the other unions? sag etc

And if there was a composers union, shouldn't the other unions stick  
up and say hey this is a union job, you need union players

It seems that was the intent of design, and it should hold up to  
include a group that hasnt been till now (if!)
