I’ve done a mix of union and non-union projects in propmaking, and the difference in conditions is huge. For those of you weighing the switch, is joining the union worth the membership costs in the long run?

In my situation, the insurance benefit alone is worth it. Like the first commenter mentioned, it could vary greatly from union to union, but if the benefits are there, I say go for it.

Yes that’s very sure about insurance, I currently don’t have one!

That is hugely specific to the union. I have worked on some where it was worth every penny they got from me. Others, not so much. When possible, I like to know what I’m getting into before making that decision.

Yes it’s good to do some research first before committing!

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
