If you want to work as a union member, you must be a union member. Are you?

Remember.......union means membership, or no work.

$3500 is half of what you need to join the 706 (West Coast).



Mods- can you add these threads to the FAQs? The one thread pertaining to the union isn't really informative:

Get a job with-in your local jurisdiction on a union set under a waiver to join or get a steady non-union job and bring the union IATSE local to organize it. I suggest knowing someone very well - already on a union job, with local status, who can book you as "additional/assistant" in a lesser position thereby allowing you to work under the union contract becoming taft-hartley must-join, but you have to have $3500 on with-in I think 5-10 days.

Also make sure your %4 tax/license is in proper order, and go do adtl. hair on a proper set.

Not a bad deal, for what level of pay would be with penalties and OT, (assistant, lead, key?) - they usually have a tiered structure.
