I think he wants union cred. He is taking a moral stand by not taking any food out of the mob controlled IATSE.

IATSE= International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. You see their 5 petal logo at the end of credits on movies. Nothing in big time show biz happens without them taking a cut.

I agree.

I had a close relative (now deceased) who was in the SWG (Screen Writers Guild). Hollywood is a closed union town. Very difficult to break in for the craft unions that aren't just the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and one can be punished for going against the rules, written and unwritten.
