aside from “this is the way they’ve always done it”, I still don’t understand why no change. Just one look at that greedy pie chart should be enough to see that the old system only serves one side.

something I’ve never ever understood is why all the different unions are split up like this. Whenever strike talks come up it’s “IATSE vs AMPTP” or “WGA vs AMPTP”, etc. rather than a collective union of unions.

The producers figured it out and are united, why haven’t the different unions done the same? I’m especially leary at this sort of thing after IATSE president Matt Loeb took a bum deal and threw everyone under the bus.
