I don't think it would work to be honest; going by Dutch unions, they will make it so that everyone working in industry X will get the same compensation People

People keep saying this as if it’s an inherent property of unions but it simply isn’t true and the counter example is Hollywood where everyone from the hottest star to the lowliest extra are all in the union.
- pc86 7y agoActing/SAG is a pretty disingenuous example as everything is incredibly individualistic in that industry. Not to mention the fact that SAG doesn't negotiate individual contracts, just cast minimums. Not a single technical/profession union outside of Hollywood operates that way. Some will negotiate geographically but that's it.
- dorfsmay 7y agoIf hollywood can be special because their jobs and compensations are different, why couldn't the tech industry be different?
- pc86 7y agoI'm not saying it couldn't, I'm saying when there are 4,999 examples of it happening Way A and 1 example of it happening Way B, presenting Way B as the obvious example of how to do it is pretty disingenuous.
