ABSTRACT

Local 790 prefers that productions hire only current union members, to keep their members working. The union will offer a roster of available workers, but each shop may find staff any way they wish.

So how do you get a union job without being in the union already? You can be grandfathered in if you are on a nonunion project that becomes signatory. A union show can hire you if there are no other union artists available, and you can join at that time.
