Source for Crew Union Rates.

[The Mastermind]

I'm writing a budget for the next films I plan to make.

I was wondering if there is some source online or even in print that details the current union rates for members of the crew. It would serve as a reference to halp me put together realistic numbers for the budget.

As far as I'm aware, you need to search by each union name. There are copies of the agreements posted along with the pay rates at each budget level.

Are you planning to go union for all jobs? Or just actors?

Yep. Many locals have their rates posted on their website. For the ones that don't
all you need to do is call (gasp!) the number listed and they will send you the
current rates.

I would like to budget based on union rates for all the jobs, cast & crew.
