Could add, commercial shops in NC, as of 2021 we have a labor pool for health care, etc shops can join. It's $100-200/year through the Carolina Textile District. Pretty reasonable. Something healthy on the fashion side of the business freelance costumers/technicans/drapers might want to take advantage of or at least be aware of.
"He was more than a hero, he was a Union Man" - Miles O'Brian, Star Trek: Deep Space 9. I was so glad to see this video. I also liked how you were not pushing membership one way or another, just presenting the facts. It is a bit strange for me as an Australian hearing about union and non-union productions/workplaces. In Australia, it doesn't matter what organisation or business you work for, your relevant union will represent you as needed. Likewise, your membership to a union has no implication on your employment, so your employer is under no obligation to prioritise union members. All employers are simply employers, and employees can choose to join the union or not.

That’s fantastic! Do you have a link where people can find out more?

That sounds like a great system! It’s needlessly complicated here.
