Re: film production--about Union Building Trades Scale

Yes sir I drip glamour. There was a time when we were way ahead of most workers in most industries. Not anymore. My minimum work week is 48.6 hours, my average is 52 hours. The current and next contract offer no sick pay and no paid personal days. I think we are the only workers in America(union anyway)that get zero paid sick days. Our vacation benefit maxes out after 8 years at 3 weeks per year. Not one single day of that can be carried over from year to year.

I have a friend who works at CBS in a NABET job that makes $1 an hour less, but gets similar medical and dental. He also gets 5 weeks per year vacation, 2 weeks sick pay and 2 weeks personal days. Any or all of that can be collected at year end or carried over. A couple months back he told me he had enough time saved up to take off for 9 months and never miss a check. Of course he only gets to do soaps and game shows. He's not into the big glamour lifestyle that I have.
