SAG-AFTRA: 3 Big Challenges for the Merged Union

SAG-AFTRA: 3 Big Challenges for the Merged Union.

Quick note here- I am not at all pleased how this is happening..To me the fees are to costly for non union folks who struggle in coming up with the greens to join the Boston union..I was told that it is 1500 to join the Boston SAG/AFTRA union..Really..how about an introduction rate or small payments that are manageable to the average Joe. Or maybe the daily rate for Non Union background should be increased to 200.00 for 12 hours of work or more for overtime..Sometimes its just not worth it to stand there for 12 hours for less then minimum wage. Movies need background actors,why make it so difficult for Us by paying us such a low pay scale. Has there ever been an increase in pay for NonUnion background actors..I don’t think so! Bottom line here folks..The Boston SAG/AFTRA Union needs to lower the fees to make it more affordable in these troubled economy of Ours. One hand washes the other ya know!
