Comment on "Don't unionize, just get a better job." When you unionize, you ARE getting a better job.

Fuck me running, ever been in a union? The dumbest are made bosses, nothing works right its a shit show.
Former Teamster and IBEW
Damn everyone I’ve ever met that’s been in a union has said it’s way better than non union work.
Like to the point where they try their damndest to get another union gig if they need to get a new job. Although most of the folks I know in unions usually stay with the company for a long time or until they retire.
Of course they can be bad but anecdotally I’ve had way more people praise unions than say they’d rather not be in one. At least from the folks that have been in a unionized job.
Hey there sparky, you’re not supposed to put the live wires in your mouth.
so you’re saying you saw the problems and failed to help and instead bailed?
The dumbest are made bosses, nothing works right its a shit show.
This is different from everywhere else how?
Anti-union, and a climate change denier? Can you vomit up another dumbass opinion? It’s entertaining for me.
yeah its not all green there for sure

I worked in the movie industry in New Mexico for 2 years. Most stuff i did a small budget, non-union pictures. Then i worked 3 days for a union show, i was not union, but the job i was doing had union protections (teamsters) I got a bonus every 15 minutes we were late to lunch, i got a bonus because we wrapped late, i got paid 3 times as much for my kit.

I assume the “we were late to lunch” and “we wrapped late” means “the people running things were behind schedule, which required us to stay longer”

Yes. But I’m addition to the normal pay you get for working you also get to fine the production. I made more in those 3 days than I normally made on set in a week, and only 1 of the 3 days was actually filming, the rest was prep work for me.
