So I would receive my daily which today is $980.00, with a downward escalation of compensation with every use.
“I would address this issue by creating and promote a major outreach and education program to producers across the country to teach them how easy it actually is to become signatory, and how the union is there to help a production, not hurt it by adding financial burdens on top of the budget, which could jeopardize the production, as well as the employment opportunities for performers in that area.

Global Rule One strengthens inherent protections won in the collective bargaining agreements by setting a professional standard, solidifying our bargaining power and cementing our influence. The consequences of violating Global Rule One are devastating.
“In order to create more solidarity in the union, which would create more strength and resolve in its members, I would create an education and engagement campaign inside the union, and within the industry by partnering up with other organizations and individuals, to increase awareness about the other locals across the country, how important it is to support them, how important it is for a local production be a union production, and offer ways to incentivize these productions to go union.
“There’s also no real incentive to support the ‘other locals’ if your party is composed of mostly LA or New York local ‘celebrity’ candidates who have no intention of serving, but towing the party line. It’s all connected.
