>> Hollywood unions are something we as tech workers could model ourselves after

That's a guild, not a union. And sure, it's good. As long as you don't care about people that aren't in it right now. SAG does their very best to keep new entrants out.

I'm sorry, but this is incorrect. SAG-AFTRA is a labor union and a member of the AFL-CIO.

And they don't work to keep new entrants out. Union workplaces do prefer to hire union members, but if they can't then they'll work to get someone enrolled in the union.
