Unions are a good thing for tons of jobs. People are trained they are bad.

Algae_Mission Apr 4, 2026 +143
Yeah, a lot of people today have lost their nerve. We need to get back to taking on these big companies and forming real unions again. Especially in this age of corporate excess.

Preach brother. People forget about the jungle.

akestral Apr 4, 2026 +38
That history is kept from people. People don't even know about the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. And they definitely don't know about the Battle of Blair Mountain. The labor movement in this country was also a shooting war on more than one occasion.

If you're going to mention them, you should at least give brief info or a link. The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire was in a building where hundreds of women died, jumping to their death to escape from a fire. "Trapped inside because the owners had locked the fire escape exit doors, workers jumped to their deaths. In a half an hour, the fire was over, and 146 of the 500 workers—mostly young women—were dead." "After the fire, their story inspired hundreds of activists across the state and the nation to push for fundamental reforms."

I read The Jungle right at the start of COVID (just a little light reading during a pandemic) and what struck me is how much of a horror story it is- children trampled on and drowned in mud, the gaping maw of the slaughterhouse, the terror of the animals being slaughtered. It would make a great single season of prestige television.

TheFatNinjaMaster Apr 5, 2026 +3
When Teddy Roosevelt read The Jungle, he called it a lie and labeled Sinclair a communist. Being Teddy, he decided tomboy touring the plants, found out Sinclair was right, and started what would become the FDA as governor of New York. That book is still the best “why we need regulation” to throw at people; the hard part is convincing them that no, really, it took government action to make raw sewage an illegal ingredient in your sausage.

The_Lost_Jedi Apr 4, 2026 +48
Too many people bought into the line that because unions are imperfect that they're therefore horrible/evil/etc. No, just because something is imperfect doesn't mean it is bad, let alone unnecessary. Unions and the like are a vital counterweight to the lack of power that workers otherwise face compared to companies.
48
CallMeKingTurd Apr 4, 2026 +25
People get so hung up dues too. I work next to a plant that does the same thing as us but they are non union and the gap between our wages in a single day more than covers our monthly dues, and that's not even getting into the stuff on top of wages like the differences in our medical and the fact they don't have pensions. I've also been a shop steward and sat in at the negotiating table a few times and have seen our business agents, President, secretary, etc. sit there and run absolute circles around the negotiating reps our corporation sends and pick them apart. They are relentless and experts at what they do and are dues are well spent on their wages.
25
RockMonstrr Apr 4, 2026 +11
My annual dues cost less than the work boots I'd have to buy out of pocket if I wasn't in a union.
11
Gelato_Elysium Apr 4, 2026 +16
It's servile and obedient people repeating the words of their masters. You see it all the time, their boss give them some shitty excuse why they can't give them a raise or improve their QoL and say it's because of the Unions, and those fuckers lap it right up.
16
Haunteddoll28 Apr 3, 2026 +376
100% this. My dad and grandfather were both stunt performers and I don’t think I would be here today without those protections because either one of them could’ve easilly died while filming. Lord knows there were more than enough accidents and near misses that could’ve been significantly worse had they happened a decade or two earlier.

Algae_Mission Apr 3, 2026 +150
Again, studio bosses might hate union “agitators” like Art Babbitt or Peter Lorre, but people like those two helped make the film business infinitely safer and fairer.

SwingKey3599 Apr 4, 2026 +18
i thought agitator was a derogatory or pejorative term 
18
R3dcentre Apr 4, 2026 +72
As a union organiser, I’m thrilled to be called an agitator. Stirring things up is exactly my job. I love it when a boss says “we didn’t have any problems here before you showed up”. To which the answer is “sure you did, they just weren’t your problems”.
72
Starfox-sf Apr 4, 2026 +13
Aka “we didn’t realize the problem until you pointed it out”
13
Bubbly-Travel9563 Apr 4, 2026 +8
More like "*we didn't care about the problem because it was theirs*" when it comes to Union reps
8
RedPanther1 Apr 4, 2026 +22
It is, that's why they use that term, and that's why most people should read it as "people trying to help all the normal people out". Those who are in charge will always look at helpful people as "agitators". Don't fall for the corporate speak bullshit that gets passed around.
22
Algae_Mission Apr 4, 2026 +31
I see it as a term of endearment in a sense. Nothing wrong with agitating a boss who won’t give people a square deal.
31
Strict_Weather9063 Apr 4, 2026 +7
Some families it is a required right of passage. If you don’t take down at least one manager in your lifetime you weren’t looking out for those that came after you. Three supervisors in non union shops, I’m a bit of an a******.

MarcoDiFrancescino Apr 4, 2026 +13
Couldn't sleep scrolled to videos some times ago and there was a video about stunt performers died on set. And half of them where like 'we can't do this stunt safely' and the director 'I will find someone who can'. I always wonder how its possible that the production wasn't sued into oblivion, even back then.

HoneybeeXYZ Apr 4, 2026 +25
The number of deaths on film sets during the silent era is staggering and terrifying. Extras drowned during the making of the silent version of The Ten Commandments.
25
Algae_Mission Apr 4, 2026 +25
Not quite as deadly, but women in the Ink and Paint departments of animation studios were so underpaid at several studios that it resulted in some fainting from having skipped buying lunches from the sandwich wagons out front. And the animators who didn’t work for Disney were often kept in crappy shacks at the edge of the studio. They called the Warner Bros animation building on the lot Termite Terrace for a reason.

Yeah Jack Kirby quitting Fleischer and working in comics is understandable.

The movie Babylon shows a tiny bit of that and it seems absurd.

Head of the actors union was Ronald Reagan.

Shenanigans80h Apr 4, 2026 +187
Which makes his union busting efforts as president all the more hypocritical.
187
Professional-Trash-3 Apr 4, 2026 +128
Well, he was a B-movie actor, so unionizing helped him. By the time he was president he no longer needed help, so why support a union?

FlexFanatic Apr 4, 2026 +66
Yup, the ole pull the ladder up behind ya trick.

Some of them don’t just pick the ladder up - they probably grab hold of it and start swinging it around like a weapon

Disused_Yeti Apr 4, 2026 +35
He would’ve had union support if he hurt himself pulling up that ladder

DelcoUnited Apr 4, 2026 +11
And he’d be the first to cash in on that unionized health care for his ladder pulling up injury.

hughcifer-106103 Apr 4, 2026 +6
well before he was president or governor, he sold out his union brothers and sisters because he was nothing more than an opportunistic piece of shit his entire life.

ItsNotRockitSurgery Apr 4, 2026 +55
He was a hypocrite during his years with the Screen Actors Guild too. General Electric (GE) was paying him a fuckton of money to be a travelling ambassador for the brand and made him a stakeholder in the GE Theater Show. GE was one of the most anti-union companies in America at the time. When it came to the strike of 1960, Reagan came to an agreement that ultimately benefited MCA (the company that owned the producers of the GE Theater show), which in turn lined his own pockets more. Reagan may have had his fellow actors best interests in mind when he was much younger and fresher to the guild, but ultimately he sold them all down the river for $150,000 paycheck from GE. And he carried that mentality for the rest of his life. He would've chucked a mother of 3 into oncoming traffic if it meant he could have the $10 in her purse
55
Arthropodesque Apr 4, 2026 +11
Reminds me of the scene in Vice where Cheney as a young man is working as a lineman or something. Another man is badly injured and he and the other man just kind of stare for a minute while a boss puts ten bucks in the guy's pocket and gets someone to drive him to a hospital. Didn't register that it could've been any one of them and they have no safety net, physical or monetary.

Didn’t he sell out the union back then or something too? I’ll try to look it up! Edit: he worked during the 1960 strike and ratted to the feds about communists to the house committee for unAmerican activities

It's how he became president of SAG, got enough clout to become the most anti-union Governor in CA history.

Algae_Mission Apr 4, 2026 +12
Exactly. No great friend of the communist party, but even he knew that a Union that respected workers safety and pension was better than not having one.

Reelwizard Apr 4, 2026 +13
I’m a union film worker and 100%. The number of times I’ve seen folks try to pull shit that ends up getting shot down because of the strength of the unions is proof enough.

Algae_Mission Apr 3, 2026 +133
Studio bosses think they hate the likes of “commie agitators” such as Herbert Sorrell or Art Babbitt until they have a serious injury or, god forbid, a death that results in a multi-million dollar lawsuit. Daily Wire being run by that clown Ben Shapiro makes sense that basic common sense practices wouldn’t be followed. If you’re below the line, NEVER EVER work on a Daily Wire production.
133
sweetangeldivine Apr 4, 2026 +40
I know times are desperate for folks out there, but do not take non-union film work if you can help it. Stick to commercials and verticals. They have better safety standards.

Algae_Mission Apr 4, 2026 +30
Yep, never work with Daily Wire. They clearly are being run by people who don’t know what the f*** they’re doing and are callous about workers rights.

Johnathan majors is working on a new movie being produced by conservative media company, “the daily wire” but a mishap on set lead to him falling out a window, six feet to the ground. Upset about the poor safety standards on set, members of production that are part of the union lead a walkout. People from Daily Wire stated they don’t negotiate with “communists” in regard to the striking union, because they are morons who think labor organizing is bad

thenerfviking Apr 4, 2026 +95
It’s especially funny because there’s lots of film production that’s aimed at conservative buyers and reasonably profitable. They just exclusively sell movies called things like DELTA FORCE: Final Reckoning that go straight to DVD bargain racks. Like many before them Daily Wire is rediscovering the classic conservative media paradox where it’s really hard to make media that doesn’t suck without a bunch of blue hair liberals and gays at every layer of the production team. Even their new Christian Game of Thrones thing they’re pushing immediately shows how the people making it don’t know what the f*** they’re doing. All the fight choreography looks like it’s straight from an episode of a 90s kids show, every major plot feels like it needs double the amount of time, it’s got a Rolodex of characters that run in and out of the show at a breakneck pace, etc. And these aren’t issues with the books, I’m not a huge fan of the books but I have read them and they’re extremely inoffensive and paced pretty normally.

travistravis Apr 4, 2026 +30
Christian Game of Thrones? I don't pay a ton of attention to new shows lately but what show is this?? I imagine it will be **terrible**
30
thenerfviking Apr 4, 2026 +60
It’s called The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin. It’s based off a somewhat well known book series that was popular in the 90s. It’s basically a (more) Christian retelling of King Arthur set in a low fantasy version of post Roman Britain right before the Saxon invasion. It’s popular among a certain crowd because if you were a very religious kid in the Satanic Panic through the mid 2000s “Harry Potter is the devil” era there’s a high chance that it and Narnia were the ONLY fantasy novels you were allowed to read as a teenager.
60
travistravis Apr 4, 2026 +14
F***. I did know that was in production at some point and I was REALLY hoping that wouldn't have been it. I grew up super religious and that was one of my favourite book series (and I've been purposely avoiding going back to reread it because I'm almost sure it wouldn't stand up). There's absolutely no way they're not butchering the story if that's the marketing push they're putting behind it though. As an anti-religious adult, the one thing I can look back and think was a good thing about those books (regardless of how religious they were) was at least they weren't hyper-anglicised. Very Welsh based which gave it a much more authentic feel. (And if they were going to make any of that authors books into a show they should have picked the Song of Albion trilogy, it would have been SO much better -- though I'd still be disappointed because a non-religious company would pull it off so much better without trying to force their religious messaging into it).

They are morons, and they think that labor organizing is bad, but don't equate the two. They think labor organizing is bad because they are right-wing and having safety standards for worker is against their principles of "f*** you all", not because they are morons.
64
Troyabedinthemornin Apr 4, 2026 +39
Saying someone is right wing and not a moron is a contradiction

No, if you're poor and right wing you're a moron. If you're rich and right wing you're just an a******.

Also, when Deadline first asked producers Kendall and Roman Roy about the strike, they said they were  “too busy being bad asses, blowing sh*t up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves with four assholes with signs on the sidewalk and their illegitimate ‘strike'”. Because they're clowns.

Troyabedinthemornin Apr 4, 2026 +22
What’s funny to me is that Majors never struck me as conservative, definitely was never part of his branding, he’s even been in some “woke” movies. The only appeal to the DW is just that he’s a guy who hit his girlfriend and got cancelled.
22
curious_dead Apr 4, 2026 +30
And the only appeal of TDW for Majors is that they're the only ones with such low standards that they would hire him now.
30
Troyabedinthemornin Apr 4, 2026 +24
Plus he can run the f****** grift circuit with Sorbo and Roseanne. Dude has definitely been leaning into religion, as so many abusive men are wanton to do, I could see that as how he makes his little pivot. He was corrupted by woke Hollywood and cast out, but he’s turned his life to Jesus. Tale as old as time
24
PhaseSixer Apr 4, 2026 +16
Sounds like their the only ones who will hire him. He had such a promising career ahead of him danm.

BustinMakesMeFeelMeh Apr 4, 2026 +11
It’s kinda bonkers. He was one of the most well-respected actors of his generation and about to become the face of Marvel. And now he’s here. Must be so hard to live with that.
11
Arthropodesque Apr 4, 2026 +5
Yeah. Sucks. He seemed like a genuinely versatile actor, like in Loki, Lovecraft Country, etc. I remember when he was on SNL, he seemed kind of uncomfortable. Idk if he's self conscious of his natural speaking voice, or what.

We don’t negotiate with communists.” >That’s after [his statement Thursday](https://deadline.com/2026/04/iatse-strike-jonathan-majors-daily-wire-film-1236772506/), when we first reported the news of IATSE’s efforts, in which he said he and his fellow producers were “too busy being bad asses, blowing sh\*t up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves with four assholes with signs on the sidewalk and their illegitimate ‘strike'”. Who the *f**** communicates in a professional setting like that? Oh, right. Conservative assholes.

They took a union stage call to work on a union movie set. I don’t think you understood the story bro. It’s a story about bad labor practices leading to striking workers, and then the workers being demonized by the corporates. You’re blaming the workers? Jesus. This is why our jobs suck.

You don't work for the Daily Wire you work for an LLC contracted by the wire. When you start you may not even know that the Daily Wire ultimately holds the purse strings, and by then youre getting a payday in entertainment.

The industry is not in a place where people can turn down work. It’s good they are demanding the bare minimum in safety, people can die from this shit

Basically there’s been a strike called against this movie for reasons including bad safety practices. One of the incidents that caused the strike was when Majors and a co-star went out of a window unexpectedly. Both are fine, but the strike is ongoing. I’m guessing the communists thing is because the people at the Daily Wire are stupid

Apparently being in a Union to set safety standards (which is what film Unions ACTUALLY DO) is communist. The film set where Halnya Hutchins was killed was a hybrid set of Union and non-Union and all the Union people walked off because of the horrible safety standards the morning she was killed.

sweetangeldivine Apr 4, 2026 +54
Movie sets are DANGEROUS and the producers would happily kill half the crew if it saved them a couple hundred thousand. The also fun part of having a Union Set is paying mandatory minimums, so you actually have to f****** pay your workers and give them healthcare. So very communist.

Crew raised concerns about safety on set, final straw was star of the movie falling through a window that wasn't supposed to be breakable, crew walked off, Ben Shapiro's weird company framed it as "we don't negotiate with communists"

Basically the unionized film crew walked off the set due to unsafe working conditions for actors and crew. The producers called them communists. Daily Wire is a right wing media venture. Now you know why they called the film crew communists.

The producers know they are running an unsafe set. They won’t negotiate with IATSE (the union) proclaiming them to be “communists”. The star of their film (Jonathan Majors) fell through a f****** window and *his-costar required stitches all over his hands.

This is an insane article. >Since the tempered glass was only sitting loosely in the window, both the actors and the sheet of glass fell about six feet to the ground. Kilcoyne required stitches “all over his hands” after the incident, sources with knowledge of the incident say. >One crew member, who says they arrived on set after the incident to help reset the scene told Deadline on the condition of anonymity: “When I got there, nobody mentioned anything about people falling out the window…It seemed weird to me.” >Deadline also understands that the production required a location change after crew pushed back on the use of a space that was infested with black mold. Producers had wanted to move forward with the location even after a contractor warned that the building was likely constructed with asbestos and should be properly tested. Instead, crew discovered the mold on their own as they prepped the location. > >Members of the crew said they’ve also raised concerns about special effects supervisor Chris Bailey, who has previously pled guilty to illegal possession of explosives on a movie set. He was prohibited from handling explosive materials “because of a prior criminal conviction”, according to a 2021 press release from the Department of Justice. > > In a new response to Deadline on Friday, Sonnier said: “The entire industry is in freefall due to strikes, and now that their members are out of work, they’re trying to sabotage the few people who are still producing. We don’t negotiate with communists.” >That’s after his statement Thursday, when we first reported the news of IATSE’s efforts, in which he said he and his fellow producers were “too busy being bad asses, blowing sh\*t up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves with four assholes with signs on the sidewalk and their illegitimate ‘strike'”. Black mold *and* asbestos??

Txdust80 Apr 4, 2026 +64
If anyone is having trouble with what this means. Daily Wire is anti union. A movie production of theirs hurt an actor because they weren’t doing their due diligence with safety. Crew member made their concerns known, executives told them to F off. The crew members walked off the set, the executive called them communists because thats what far right people do when they are the problem and they can’t really justify their position

Someone else might have a more precise answer but it was rather surreal in 2016 to watch all of Trump’s primary opponents like Rubio and Cruz, who spent the primary saying the obvious things about how Trump isn’t fit to be president, get into lock step behind him. And Trump turned conservatism into his personality cult. Actual laws or dignity need not apply just what Trump says. Ted Cruz pisses me off the most because Trump compared his wife to a dog and he’s so pathetic he sucks up to Trump anyway.

The film's working title is Knuckle. It's a little obnoxious that SAG-AFTRA has a contract but IATSE doesn't. This happens way too often especially after IATSE backed them during their strike. The SAG-AFTRA president in my area had even gone as far as to speak it against IATSE organizing efforts on projects that they already have a contract. It seems like solidarity is a one-way street with SAG-AFTRA.

I don't go to movies made by people who say "We don't negotiate with communists" when talking about safety of the crew. Crew and actors should walk off and not return. Unfortunate for those involved but the picture should be scrapped and boycotted if made.
