Out of work crew members say they’re worried about their healthcare, working at places like Target to get by, and may leave the business entirely

“It’s definitely very scary,” one Chicago-based production assistant said. “We are having to dip into our savings, which is something we never wanted to do. The part-time jobs are meant to alleviate that, it just helps us not dip in as much, but we still have to do it.”

“It’s a significant concern for my family,” the camera operator said. “If I don’t work 40 more hours this year, I can’t get healthcare for me or my kids, and then my kids can’t get braces. I have another kid going to college in a couple of weeks and this has all added to the stress of that.”said they’ve felt the slowness of production all year in anticipation of the strikes.

“They really strung themselves out financially into their funds to accommodate for catastrophic events during the pandemic and we’re right back there now again,” they said. “It’s certainly frustrating that a whole workforce is just waiting around for other people to decide other things, and coming off of everything we’ve already been through in 2020 and 2021 it’s pretty disheartening.
