  [quote]Unions are extortionist rackets that exist to protect lazy or incompetent workers from the consequences of their uselessness to their employers. Show biz is loaded with them. Skroom. Who gives a shite what the International Brotherhood of Incandescent-Light-Bulb-Under-1000-Watt Changers Local 100 thinks about anything?
  
  That said, good luck getting participants. Folks here have natural suspicions about blind calls for nude shoots that don't provide details.
  
  =================================================
  
  Hannah Simons Castingis a legitimate UK company that apparently has extensive experience with TV & film-making, including adverts. Ergo, the project is probably real. Being the UK, nudity in ads is not taboo.
  
  On the HSC site, Mecca Bingo (apparently an online gaming site} is listed as one of its clients, ergo it would follow that the proposed advert is for that client.
  
  I'd offer this old body if the folks wanted a cross-section of people looking as though they are likely to be found in Bingo halls. However, a 3300-mile trip to do a shoot is out of the question.
  
  Peace!

  And that is what unions are for.  To protect people from rackets like this.

  You are very jealous and angry, aren't you?  You probably live off of a union pension and social security.  Yet you rail against them.  Just like Ayn Rand.  And you know nothing about my career.  And the fact that I pay more taxes in the States than you and Romney, with his 14% combined.  You must let go of this obsession with me that you have.  It's never going to lead to anything.

  Because the union should know about the professional filming of any commercial.  So that people aren't needlessly exploited.
  As far as third rate, talentless, scenery chewers, you my queen are giving Joan Crawford a run for the money.

  I didn't bring up the topic of unions, ignorant, microbrained child. Your fellow troll child did. Ask your mommy to read the whole thread to you (if she doesn't have you locked in your cage in the cellar).
  
  [quote]And that is what unions are for.  To protect people from rackets like this.[/quote]
  Actually, troll boy, unions are to protect useless, incompetent slackers like you from being booted by dissatisfied employers.
  
  That aside, I'm well acquainted with unions, having spent my 38 years in industry as an unwilling member of one in a closed shop. I can say with authority that unions outlived their value in the first half of the 20th. Their only purposes:
  
  * Extort money from employers
  * Demand outrageous wages for menial jobs
  * Defend workers who do just barely enough to survive being axed despite the unions
  * Prevent competent, capable, motivated workers from advancing other than by seniority
  
  With that out of the way, you obviously didn't read anything beyond my rant on unions. If you did, you would know that the OP is from a legitimate, professional production company in the UK. What makes you "think" that the company is not in accord with all the labor laws in the UK? Or are you just out to attack and screw the facts, as usual?
  
  Small wonder you're a virtual nobody in the acting profession. If you are as incompetent on the set as you are here...
  
  Good luck on the advert, HSC!
  [/quote]Why didn't you quit your union job and work else where at a non-union job? How much of your career earnings were extorted dollars from your employer? Why not give some of that money that you earned back to your employer?

  What an imbecile you are.  I belong to one of those unions.  And there are very specific rules which apply to any shoot that requires nudity.  Specifically, residual packages.  Try doing a little research before you spurt your vile ravings and hate all over the forums and dragging everything into the gutter that you lie in.

  "If the company offers pay and conditions and the participants accept the pay and conditions who needs the union taking their part of some one else's pay?"
  
  So if the "company" runs the ad for 5 years and makes plenty of money off of it, those actors have no claim or share of that and no recourse.  The union insures that they are properly treated and compensated.
  But what's the point? You are conservative and therefore hate unions.  Mine provide me with retirement funds, benefits, disability when needed and even retirement homes.

  Did I "charge" the company with any violations?  No I did not.  Simply volunteered to make the union aware of it.  Why do you always leap directly to screaming hysteria?
  I don't want to think about what is on your keyboard, but I imagine it's a hot mess of weak bodily fluids and large scales of skin.

  "Says the rectum with legs who is alleging that the company is in violation of rules without one iota of evidence. Don't talk to me about research, tedious little boy. In your 1100+ posts, NOT ONCE have you ever researched anything. You just spout your specious piffle like toxic waste from a ruptured drum and then attack anyone who dares to question your garbage."
  
  Now that's another lie and you are piling them up.  I've quoted the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and used the congressional record for facts and figures.  All of which you choose to ignore because you don't like facts.

  You must keep Wikipedia open all the time.  You know nothing about the entertainment business, so please don't pretend.  You aren't even entertaining.  And so far you have trashed any source that I named above.
  You feel unions are corrupt and the source of all evil.  I do not.  As asked above, if you hate them so much, why didn't you leave your union shop?

  Any professional agent would tell a client to never respond to a casting call on a website like this.  It's not professional in the least.
