One thing to remember - an agency who is a guild signatory is 100% permitted to rip you off.
The rule is that they are not permitted to rip guild members off. However, as the guild is technically a labor union under US law - they are very limited in their rules - they are not actually permitted to make rules about how they treat non-guild members. (Production companies are a different kettle of fish because they are employers. However an agency isn't an employer. A labor union isn't allowed to make rules about how non-employers treat non-union members - it is outside of their charter.) I was surprised at this as well, and so confirmed it with the WGA itself.

The list probably changes on a day to day basis, which is why calling is the best thing.
Also many companies will set up subcompanies for a particular project. So the main company itself will not be a signatory, but the subcompany will. This way they keep all their options open. Kind of shitty in a way. Either be a sig or not. |
