| AEA is horrible. The non-profits get away with paying actors very little and I think it's because AEA is weak. The idea seems to be 1. actors are so eager to show what they can do they will work for peanuts and/or 2. there are new kids getting off the bus every day who will work for free so let's pay the established people a mere pittance. It's a racket. | |

| As a union member for over 30 years, I can fully agree. AEA is a joke. Being a union member has stunted me far more times than it has supported me. | |

| So sorry you feel that way. I've been a member for more than 40. Our union is not perfect but then look at unions all over the country. Progress is slow, wage growth along with other workers is slow but every increase has been dearly won. I have felt very protected under many contracts-breaks, length of days, overtime, even size of fridges on the road. I've served on committees and seen how every new rule is fought over by powerful and skilled producers and negotiators. | |
