Just think of the folks in your local Theater/Trade Show Union branch and the Broadway season ends and the slow summer months begins where at the same time the Trade Show season is at its low point(Summer Months), And UI insurance is sometimes the only way to make it through the Summer Months In the Big Easy and for Union members that are not high up on the Seniority roster. You are Studio Mechanics/Related Local folks and if you can get some Movie/TV production work over the summer you have it good there as after summer is over you can go over to the Theater/Trade Show local in the non summer months and get some extra work there. That weekly job search/reporting requirement is not so hard for anyone working out of a union Hiring Hall as one needs to just go to their local and get the Union Rep to sign their weekly job search booklet and they have that over the phone reporting maybe but I used to go weekly to my UI office as I lived only a few blocks away from the office but that was a few decades back and not over any pandemic where the UI Offices where closed.
