Avoiding the unions is the whole reason they leave California to make movies. For low-budget it's probably their only option.
If they're driving a company truck, teamsters get paid from the moment they walk out their front door to the moment they get back home. Must be pretty sweet.
My friend is a production manager for commercials. We bumped into a head teamster that works on a lot of her shoots one night at a restaurant. You could just tell by every bit of body language in the interaction that he was essentially her boss, even though technically she was his boss. Dude even had a gold chain and black turtleneck, looking like a mob boss, with the attitude to match. He knew he was the shit.
