I'm biased, as I am an IATSE member in Washington DC, and love my union. Every local is different. Because of mine, I have higher wages than someone doing my job in my city without Union representation. I have health insurance, a pension and an annuity for retirement, and an office that works to find work for me. A union helps improve job security, safety, and overall quality of life. Also, generally the biggest venues in town have Union contracts.
