Why would the top-level go down? Employers are paying what the market demands. It's not like Jessica Chastain makes less money because she's in the SAG-AFTRA union with the same job as actors making less than $35K / year.

The SAG is obviously not one of those. (It's mostly, as I understand it, minimum pay scales for time actually spent working--a lot of SAG members don't work very much.) Public sector jobs can often be.
