I don’t understand. First you said union guys get paid top of the market and get more benefits, now you’re saying non-union pays better? I guess which is it?
The entertainment industry exploits the living hell out of non-union workers. All of the top talent is 100% union. Every big movie and scripted tv show is made by union actors and crews. Reality and docs are where labor laws are regularly broken with no consequence. It’s shady as hell.
Other notable unions are steel workers, auto workers, teachers, police and fire departments. These are all jobs where the employer have a stranglehold on employment. New competitors cannot feasibly enter the market. Without these unions you’d see extreme exploitation because the labor force is at the mercy of the entrenched employers.
In terms of electrical unions, those were actually started to save lives by instituting safety standards.
Who are these union guys in your case? Painters?
