I work in Hollywood (Disney) and I used to chair the Motion Picture and Television Industry Labor-Management Safety Committee. The organization I worked for, The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) which you'll often see on credits. In this industries case, unions work relatively well. We have lots of day hires, and the hiring and firing is simple, your guaranteed 8 hours of work and that's it. If you don't work out "We won't need you tomorrow". I've also see a very cooperative shift in labor working with the producers on safety, training, and a bunch of other issues, because a lot of filming is moving to eastern Europe. The unions in LA want to keep filming here.
