The film industry operates on a gig-by-gig basis. Imagine drafting a legal contract for every sprint. Because you're working at a different company every sprint. Or interviewing/hiring new people every sprint. Kinda how the film industry works. Way easier to just have standardized union contracts, pay rates, and expectations for everyone involved and have the union provide benefits.
