Re: Should i Join the Union?
it would seem LA rates are on a parity with London for the majors for a re-recording mixer - apart from overtime, that is a 'non word' in the uk. Consequence of the almost death of unions in broadcast
Now if we could could have some of your sunshine - it feels like Seattle here... cheers

And Non-Union LA. That's where the union and non-union make a difference.
In Non-Union, I feel the work suffers because people are just trying to get it done and the producers don't even care about the sound. They just want to meet the bottom line. Not to say there isn't decent non-union shows and great sound jobs. Some may not be on par money wise as the union, but at least some do put forth an effort to make sure that the sound job is done well and far to the sound team. |

Re: Should i Join the Union?
Yikes those rates seem low to me. I'm making more than that (mixing) non-union.
How common is it to make more than the card rate on union gigs? I'm sure the big names aren't working for $64/hr. I know of one network where you negotiate your rate when you're hired, the union negotiates yearly increases (NABET).

For what its worth non-union jobs do not suffer form lack of talent. they suffer from disorganization. Producers who dont understand the process will affect the out come of any job. |
