My comment is 100% accurate. The union basically got zero changes around working conditions for a 3% annual raise. The only major change and which is minor at best is a 10 hour turn around from 8. That's it.
Typing on the go here...
It is obviously a complex issue but in general the union did nothing to address the big concerns around safety and working conditions on set. But the biggest concern around safety which they will never address is lack of experience. They, the union and producers push people through like a factory.
