| Re: So I guess they didn't really prove said by TKJunkMail  :said by FiL :Plus, 170,000 minumum wage jobs is NOT what the country needs at this point. The movie industry has numerous high paid UNION jobs. And any loss of jobs there aren't minimum wage ones. Quite true, but then Hollywood itself is it's own worst enemy.
If HOLLYWOOD as an industry was really concerned about American jobs then they wouldn't be making so many production in Canada, the UK and Australia not to mention Eastern Europe.
When they start making all of their films in the US, I'll listen to what they say.

1 edit | Re: Unions still strong in Hollywood said by TKJunkMail :» findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m···92808160Roughly 70 percent of the estimated 800,000 entertainment workers in Los Angeles County--a catchall category that includes everyone from actors and professional dancers to prop handlers and electricians--are members of trade unions, according to AFL-CIO's Center for Regional Employment Strategies. ROFLMAO - do you even read your own links? there you go, you have just said it:

Pittsburgh, PA | Members of many of these unions work maybe a half a dozen days a year. The majority of SAG mambers can barely afford to pay for the discounted health care plans it offers. Entertainment unions are like the steelworkers. | |
