I was recently part of a non-union crew working on a small independent
feature. Not a single member of the crew was ever payed and the
producers have literally disappeared and there seems to be no way of
contacting them. As a student I am happy to get pretty much any job
that comes my way, I'd much rather work than be doing nothing at all,
so in that sense, yes, I benefitted from the situation. But, I do feel
like we shouldn't allow people to do these things, they will just as
confidently just do it to the next group of guys just trying to catch
a break. This project took up a month of 20 peoples lives and i do
feel like they deserve to be compensated especially when that was the
agreement made from the beginning,
Has anyone ever dealt with a similar situation? I would greatly
appreciate any feedback on what I may be able to do. Thank you for
your time.
