- scarface74 7y agoSo now instead of being able to negotiate my own salary based on my skillset, I’m beholden to union agreements....
- gamblor956 7y agoTalent unions set minimum pay scales, not maximums. Hollywood actors are part of a union (SAG). Do you think that Tom Cruise got paid the same as an extra that was also in the SAG for the last Mission Impossible?

- gamblor956 7y agoToday I learned that programmers think that police and teachers unions are talent-based unions like the SAG. That explains so much of the bizarre anti-union sentiment on HN.
- brianwawok 7y agoThere is a reason some shows use non-union labor. Even if you had a programmer union, what’s to stop people hiring non-union programmers?
- scarface74 7y agoUnion rules part of some union collective bargaining agreements are that everyone who works there has to be part of the union. Many states that do have right to work laws still force companies to apply union agreements to even those who are not part of the union.
- gamblor956 7y agoI would very much like to know which broadcast or cable shows you think use non-union labor, because that would be a violation of almost all studios agreements with the unions. AFAIK, only Netflix uses non-union labor on shows...and even they have entered into negotiations with multiple unions.
