What if I acted in something that didn’t have a contract and I did well?

You don’t understand?
Case Rating: *
I understand your concern about having people work for free on your animated web series. Generally, if individuals agree to work voluntarily and are aware that the project is non-profit, it is not typically a legal issue. However, it's wise to have clear agreements in place to avoid misunderstandings. Is there anything else you'd like to clarify on this topic?

I’m not signed up for a union, so if there was a union violation by the director, producer, or whoever is in charge of the top occupations of a project, would they be legally responsible?
Case Rating: *
In Mississippi, if a union violation occurs, the person in charge (like a director or producer) may be legally responsible if they violate union agreements or labor laws. Union violations typically concern those who are members of the union. If you're not a member, you might not be directly affected or eligible to take action. Do you have a specific issue or concern regarding this situation?

Well I mean I wouldn’t know if someone violated any union rules I would just be doing what I’m told to do for the project
Case Rating: *
Since you're not currently signed up for a union, you wouldn't be directly involved in union violations unless you choose to join. If someone in charge violates union rules, it primarily affects union members. If you have concerns about your role or responsibilities, having clear communication with the project's leadership would be beneficial.

And again you said signing up for a union doesn’t mean I lose the privilege to do non-union work like my own indie animated web series?
Case Rating: *
Joining a union doesn't automatically mean you lose the ability to work on non-union projects. Many unions, like SAG-AFTRA, have guidelines allowing members to work on non-union projects under certain conditions, such as "financial core" status. It's essential to review union rules for any restrictions. Is there anything else you'd like to know?

Financial core??
Case Rating: *
"Financial core" status refers to a type of union membership where individuals pay only for the basic union services, like collective bargaining, but don't gain full union benefits. This allows you to work on both union and non-union projects. Do you have any other questions about this?
