      Something that actually interests me is that Bioware has never really worked with the Celebrity Voice Actor Squad

      They did hire the Squad for SWTOR. Although that was developed in the US and not Canada, not sure if that makes a difference

      Anyway, why would unions lead to the same five people always getting hired? It's not like you always see the same construction companies in union states or whatever, the point isn't to be anticompetitive

      It is to a degree, the whole point is it means if you want to hire from the union you can *only* hire from the union, so it's a binary choice

      I take it the reason people don't join the union is bc they have to charge more then? In any case I can't imagine Joe McUnion the VA who is just getting started but joined the union gets paid the same rate as Nolan North, so it's still a financial cost to hire the big names?

      Some of it, to my understanding, is that the union tends to leverage their in-demand talent to secure work for the jobbers too. Stuff like, "if you want Bailey you're going to need to hire a bunch of our no names/less knowns for smaller roles."

      Although a big part of the erosion of union power is SAG-AFTRA making the concession to clients that their "fi-core" members can take non-union work I.e. If you're part of the "financial core" that makes most of the money for the union, you get exempted from the rules

          Since this removes a ton of the union's leverage and therefore the benefit of being in the union as a low-level member, this was a highly controversial policy A lot of muttering that it should be called the "F-u-got-mine-core"

          Financial core is not a SAG-AFTRA policy. It is a worker right in more or less all US labor unions. It is fair to say that it is a SAG-AFTRA policy that full members cannot accept nonunion work in its jurisdiction. Otherwise, they face union discipline/prosecution.

          Not quite. 😊 Fi-core are unionized workers who either didn’t join the union as full members or resigned. They became “nonmembers.” They pay an agency fee to the union. Under the law, this makes them “members” to qualify for union work, but they don’t have to follow member rules.

          There is a United States Supreme Court decision titled NLRB v. General Motors (1963) that outlines and introduces the concept of “financial core.” It is not specific to SAG-AFTRA actors.
