Re: Unions still strong in Hollywood
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. |

said by wifi4milez  :said by kamm :"Lies, damn lies and statistics." I would say that 70% counts as most people. Not really sure what figures you are going by....... Ummm for example "entertainment workers" which counts everybody within 150 miles radius of studio?  |

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.
