for one employer—sometimes in one location for years at a time—workers in the entertainment industry freelance and might work for dozens or more employers in an average year navigating job to job in film, television, and television commercials. The strength and bargaining leverage of unions in the entertainment industry stems from all union members' allegiance to their union and refusal to accept work in nonunion productions. Entertainment union workers, aware of the benefits collective bargaining affords them, pledge to only accept work from employers who agree to work under the provisions of the collectively bargained union contracts. This pledge essentially creates a virtual strike line around employers not willing to recognize the jurisdiction of one of the entertainment union. SAG-AFTRA members, for example, agree to adhere to Global Rule One which states, "No member shall render any services or make an agreement to perform services for any employer who has not executed a basic minimum agreement with the union, which is in full force and effect, in any jurisdiction in which there is a SAG-AFTRA national collective bargaining agreement in place. This provision applies worldwide." Simply put, a SAG-AFTRA member must always work under a union contract around the globe. The FiCore, or "scab" as loyal union members refer to them, makes a choice to no longer honor the pledge they made when they became a union member. The strength of solidarity is undermined when a Ficore crosses a virtual strike line allowing employers to pay less and skirt union protections and benefits. Instead, FiCore sides with anti-union productions diluting the strength of the unions and aiding in the growth of nonunion work. Even though FiCore are actively union busting they cannot be blocked from working on union projects that benefit from the majority of professionals holding the union line. There are occasions when an entertainment union worker accepts work in a nonunion project. This is against union regulation and known as working "off the card." Unions can and do take disciplinary action on the occasion member is reported or otherwise found to be working off the card. However workers who have claimed FiCore status have disavowed the union and any union rules or regulations. Since the FiCore does not operate under the jurisdiction of the union they are not subject to any union disciplinary action for working nonunion jobs. Further, the FiCore cannot be prohibited from accepting work in
