Not sure what you mean. I was at three different movie theatre chains where the union (Iatse) was booted out. My observations are that the union had far outlived its purpose, technology had long since made the skill requirements non-existent, and the last hangers on were there for the money and to try to drag things out as long as they could. There is no going back. Since then, film has been replaced by video. In its day, the union did serve a purpose. Handling nitrate prints (guncotton) was a very dangerous and demanding occupation.

Deathorization is one process of a few that happens when the wheels are put in place to oust a sitting Union, pre-contract year.
Ive been in factories that have had the usual Union battles, I am wondering if anyone has worked in a business and has seen a long-time Union actually be removed through that process. Since a lot of stuff has to take place, and it is a very complicated process, I want peoples actual observations and experiences.
Since it appears to be almost impossible once they are in, I dont think too many people have seen this, but I thought I'd ask here. A lot of people visit this forum
That was pretty much happened with the theatres. Contracts were negotiated down, when new locations were built they weren't allowed in, and the ones with seniority got to hang on to the few union positions left. Some of the guys had class, others ended up as petty thieves at the end.
We voted out our union years ago--best thing we ever did. It didn't take very long to do it, so I am not sure what you are asking about.
